I share my folder in windows 2003 server like below sample:

Myserver : DepartmentFolder
-> DepProductionFolder
-> DepWarehousingFolder

note:
* DepartmentFolder= everyone(read/list folder)
* DepProductionFolder=only dep production(read/list folder)
and manager (full access)
* DepWarehousingFolder=only dep warehouse(read/list folder)
and manager (full access)

my problem is, when manager copy folder(using cut, example: GenDataFolder) from win Xp to DepProductionFolder or DepWarehousingFolder, all right from win XP that set to that folder(GenDataFolder, everyone:fullaccess) still same when copied to server (GenDataFolder, everyone:fullaccess).

My question is why Windows Server automatically replace child folder right (DepProductionFolder or DepWarehousingFolder), this happen only when we using cut in windows xp.

For information, i don't set DepProductionFolder or DepWarehousingFolder right inherit from DepartmentFolder.

I hope there someone understood what i am try to ask, may someone can tell me where is my mistake.

Thanks

Best Regards

If you are inheriting permissions, it is dynamic. if you move (ie copy to another directory) one of the child folders, it inherits its parents permissions. Depending on your settings. The new copy can either
a) be treated as a new folder which will recieve the OS standard folder permissions, and copy the contents.
b) or the dynamic "inherit parent folder" settings will be applied, therefore it will get its new locations parent folder settings

ParentA - rule JUMP
Sub - Inherit Parent + 6FEET = JUMP 6FEET
subsub - inherit Parent + FORWARD = JUMP 6FEET FORWARD

copy SubSub to c:\Temp
c:\Temp - rule SIT
SubSub - Inherit Parent + FORWARD = SIT FORWARD

Hope this Helps.

Sub : I don't set inherit for ParentA because the user rights
is different. My problem is in folder Sub, if i cut
move folder from other windows, folder that i move
not inherit right from folder sub.



Thanks

If you want to be moving folders about, you are best defining the rules statically for each folder, rather than inheriting is what i was trying to say.

Hope this Helps.
