I can confirm what Jorge expects below - yes, all explicit permissions are removed and then the default from whatever is defined in the schema is set.
You can script the resetting of permissions back to the default using the DSACLS.exe or ACLDiag.exe tools (I can't remember if only one of them or both have the /reset permission option) /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jorge de Almeida Pinto Sent: Dienstag, 19.

Have checked Microsoft Scriptcenter For a script to reset the ADMINCOUNT = 1 to ADMINCOUNT = 0 see MS-KBQ817433 "Delegated permissions are not available and inheritance is automatically disabled" Cheers, Jorge -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 19 april 2005 3:50 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] AdminSDHolder and Default button Hi all, If a user used to be a member of Account Operators group (affected by AdminSDHolder permissions) and has left that group - it is found that the permissions are not set back to default. Hence this user will have a very restrictive settings on itself and other members of account operators will not have rights over this username (eventhough it is no longer a member of that group). In Win2003 there's a button "Default" - user properties - security - advanced - DEFAULT. Description is set to replace all permission entries with the default setting". I've enabled this on a couple of accounts and seems to work expectedly. Question: 1) Does default removes any explicitly defined ACL on the user accounts? (I sure hope not). 2) How do I script this default function? Is this an attribute or something within the object itself? I have quite a few users that needs its permissions to be 'resetted' Thanks! Thank you and have a splendid day!
