Hello,
I did a dumb thing last week and whilst giving access to the top folder on our file server (windows 2000) I accidently reset all the permissions on all the child folders under it (about 1,000 folders) which meant that the whole plant could not gain access to the folders. I did a restore from the previous night without overwriting any files which had been used that day.
My current problem is that any files which were not overwritten by the restore no longer have the correct permissions. Permissions are given at the folder level which is then propogated down to the files.
Is there a way to do a refresh of all access rights on the system - this would allow all the access rights contained in the folders to be sent to the files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - as you can guess there is a bit of urgency in this request.
Many thanks
Brian
