Folder Redirection – Why disable inheritance?

Rawrasaurus — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 13:59:46 +0000

Every article I read regarding folder redirection and personal shares mentions that I should disable inherited permissions. Why is this required? Is this a security concern or a performance concern? Personally, I want upper management to have read access to subordinates personal shares so I don’t have to retrieve files for managers, or monitor them all for silly stuff. Is this ok?

Security Permissions on Shared Folders

KennyB29583 — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:02:57 +0000

I have a resource server that serves a large number of users. We place all of our user accounts in groups based on their geographical location and organization function. We limit the permissions on folders to read/ srite, execute and delete. However, we do not give Full Control permissions. If a user creates a folder, is there anyway we can prevent that user or any other user (other than administrators) from changing or deleting security permissions on the folder?

Folder Option Settings Problem

RonG — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:19:05 +0000

Any folder on an HD partition is set to “Detail” in View settings (call it Folder A). “Remember each Folder’s view settings” is selected under Tools/Folder Options/View. “Apply to All Folders” is selected. Okay is selected, but subfolders under Folder A retain there Icon view, as do Folders in other partitions. Close Folder A and open another folder, e.g., My Documents or a folder on another HD partition (call it Folder B). Change Folder B using same procedure as above to, for example, Detail view. Open Folder A again and it has defaulted back to the Icon view (and vice versa). MS solution was attempted: (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813711/en-us). Automatic “Fix It” was tried – didn’t work. Changed registry manually to increase number of folders to 5000 – didn’t work. Is there a known fix or will the Xp OS have to be reloaded to cure the problem? Dell Optiplex 320, Win Xp Pro SP3. 2GB RAM. Two partitions: C & D. An identical computer does not have this issue.

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Folder security issue

CSnoek — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 21:18:54 +0000

Hi All,

I am currently facing a problem when I am installing a Contact Center application on Windows 2003 Server.

What is happening is that I am missing certain groups on the folder security tabs.
On my system I only get “Administrators” (The local administrators group) and “System”, this is different from servers on which my application is running. On those machines I have the groups “Administrators”, “System”, “Creator Owner” and “Users” present in the security tab of the folders.

Has anybody got a clue what could cause this?
I am pretty sure it has to do with either domain policies or local policies on the server, but I cannot get my head around which setting this was.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Corné

I have a folder called students, with several folders inside it broken down by classes, and inside of those eash students folder. They are mapped to there own folder, but when the get there they can access anyone within the father students folder. Students is the shared folder, how do I set it up to only allow each user to have full rights to there own folder and not the classes and students above there folder?

Thanks,
