Hi All,
I have been struggling with this for some time now and cannot seem to figure it out.
Objective:
Use folder redirection to point each users common folders (my documents, application data etc.) to the share on the server that I have created.
Background:
Migrated a workgroup network to a windows 2003 server domain. Had previous folders for users and have dumped all of them onto the server.
Current situtation:
Shared the folder on the server and have assigned the following permissions
1. Folder : Parent share (eg: x:\profiles).
Owner for parent folder is Administrators group.
(A.) Share Permissions
Administrators & Domain Users Group have Full Control
(B.) NTFS Permissions
Administrators & Domain Users Group has Special Permission (Full control to that parent folder only)
System Group has Full Control over this folder, files and subfolders.
2. Folder: Individual Users Folder (eg: x:\profiles\User1)
Owner for User folder is the User itself. In this eg. User1
(A.) Share Permissions
Administrators Group and User1 have full control
(B.) NTFS Permissions
Administrators Group and User1 have full control to this folder and to sub-folder and files.
Applying the above permissions however I am unable to access any files when I login as the user on a workstation. i can see the files and I am using folder redirection which points to the right folder however when I double click the file to open it says access denied. It doesn't matter if it is a word or excel or acrobat file etc.
Can anyone help in solving this issue. I am trying to get the Administrators group to have full control over every users folders & files. I am trying to get the individual user to have full control over their respective folder and I am trying to deny anyone else from accessing the users folder. Thanks for your help.
