Applying Permissions to Multiple Folders.

This is how I shared the folders.
1. Created a folder with a sharename of student$
2. removed the everyone group from permissions and added Domain Admins and Domain Users with Full Control
3. On the security Tab I clicked advanced and unchecked "Allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propagate...." I chose Copy at the next prompt then chose Apply
4. I then removed Users from the security Tab.

When I create users their profile is \\server\students$\%username%

My understanding is this will allow the user to see his directory only.

The problem.

I now need to give GROUPA full permissions to the student$ share. I thought all I had to do was give GROUP Full control and that would be it.

What is actually happening is they have full control over users that were created after adding GROUPA to permissions in step 2. Any folders that were already created the group can see... but the group doesn't have access to change anything. Is there a way to add GROUPA to multiple folders.
 
A friend of mine found a fix to the problem

Run the cmd

CACLS DRIVE:\DIRECTORY /T /E /G GROUP:F

Basically this command gives GROUP Full Control over Directory and Sub Directories.

Looked like this for me

CACLS D:\STUDENTS /T /E /G TECHS:F
