Anybody have good recommendations for learning up on Active Domain and how permissions work? It's kicking my butt right now with inexplicable craziness.

I'm trying to lock down certain directories to make them more secure. I have administrator as owner for everything so I can make sure the backups run fine. If admin doesn't have access to the directory, it won't back up. But I run into these weird situations where I lose all access to a directory. I make administrator the owner, tell it to replicate to all sub-folders and files, and I then set permissons for groups but they don't propagate down, even though I tell them to.

I figure a good tutorial will straighten my fool self out. Anybody have one?

Thanks.
