Server 2008 Permission problems...
I'm aware this is the Windows 7 forum, however, I cannot see any Server 2008 help sections. With it being due to file security, I didn't really think there'd be much of an issue posting here... Basically, I'm working for a company that has very restrictive security permissions. So much so infact we have five different Administrator groups that have different access levels etc... Anyway, we're currently in the process of a Pilot scheme of migrating user and public data from Server 2003 to Server 2008. The problem I'm having is: 1. We've added all five of the administrator accounts (with full control) to the data folder, however, administrators do not have administrator access. 2. When an administrator (who is a member of at least 3/5 administrator groups) tries to gain access to the folder (locally from the server via mstsc) he/she is prompted that they do not have permissions to access the destination and is required to replicate their account throughout the security permissions on all sub-folders. With the build version being tailored specifically to my company, the problem caused appears to lie within this. As with the new servers we're currently taking on (we have around 2000 in total that need to have this upgrade) we've found that deleting the directory and recreating it before starting any take on procedures and data migrations fixes the issue. However, with the previous servers (5 or so) that have already had data migrated to them, how can I remove this issue that causes all administrators to replicate permissions to all inheritable sub-folders? EDIT: I've just found the server tech support forums -.- Can an Administrator/Moderator please move this topic to a more suitable location please? Thanks.
