I have a W2K3 box that has a folder for each department. Inside each department there is a budget folder that only the budget managers get to access. I have the inherited rights blocked on that folder (budget)so that the other members of the department can not access the data. The problem I am having is that when finace drops a new copy of the budget in the budget folder each month, the rights for that folder are never put on that file and i am foced to do it manually. WHat do I need to change so that the rights go to a file when it is copied into that folder?

Thank you in advance for your help.
 
when in the security dialog for a folder:

click advanced -> click "replace permissions...." you might need to uncheck the "inherit from parent...."

click ok to the question when you apply. this can take some time if there is many files in the folder.

from now on when you drop a folder it should inherit the ntfs.
