No problem in disagreeing, as long as we can respect each others opinions.
Granted Debbie did not give a us lot of details, but based on what Debbie wrote, it sounds like she is having trouble copying the files from the server, and if her users had full control enabled on the original NT 4 home directory, then in the middle of the move process she would probably have an access denied even though she is the admin. By taking ownership of the files prior to her move this issue would be resolved. She also stated that the permissions are change ( Change for end users is better then Full control in my option) and Debbie stated that she has moved some of the files and that leads me to believe that the permissions on the target server have at least write access at the Share and NTFS permission level. I am also sure that Debbie was at least smart enough to verify the share level and file permissions on the new target server prior to posting on this list, however I doubt if she went through all the files on the source server to verify that none of them had full control as a ACL for the user account in question. The other issue that she me be experiencing is that if the files are currently in use the they will be locked also stopping the move process from occurring. Well that's my two cents, Jose ------------------------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 3:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Home Directories I disagree. Taking ownership isn't going to fix the permissions issues for the user at the opposite end. I'm leaning towards a share-level permission problem, since 2003 by default sets shares at Everyone:Read while NT was Everyone:Full Control. :m:dsm:cci:mvp From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Medeiros, Jose Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 4:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Home Directories Hi Debbie, This sounds like you need to take ownership of all the files in each home directory before moving the data. Jose -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ellis, Debbie Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 12:45 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Home Directories We are in the process of moving our user's home directories from NT server to 2003 server. We have moved some and have ran into a problem. The user's are unable to delete or add but the effective permissions is change access. Has anyone ran into this issue?
