Server 2008 Permissions

[ryanak]

I have a Server 2008 Network (4 Server Standard 2008 Servers).
I have setup a shared folder that users have permissions to make changes to. Each subfolder has the specific permissions as to which groups can and cannot make changes (the USERS group is allowed to READ and EXECUTE all files in these folders). I have removed inherited permissions from these folders to ensure that no top level permissions override my settings.
This works fine for a few weeks, then the AUTHENTICATED USERS group gains full control of the folders again.
I go into each of the permissions and double check that inherited permissions are not turned on. I can even remove the permission from the options. Once changed I am able to confirm proper permissions (even removing the AUTHENTICATED USERS group from the permission all together). Within a few weeks the AUTHENTICATED USERS group has full control again.

Thank you.

You have a co-worker with a sick sense of humor, a dumb user with too many rights, or a hacker. I have not seen this behavior in any of my servers.

You may also want to verify that you don't have any login scripts or scheduled tasks that do anything like this.
