Modify rights doesn't give them the ability to delete files/folders. You have to go to the Advanced tab on permissions and edit their rights and check the box to enable them to delete their own home drive files/folders -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Rochford Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 5:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Home Directories The trouble is that Microsoft's idea of "locked down" and my idea of "locked down" don't match... I work in a college (and I think Debbie works in a similar environment) and there's no way I'd give users full control over even their own folders - the most they get is "modify" on everything in their user area. (Giving full allows them to change permissions - most will do this accidentally and manage to remove themselves from the list or they will give access to other users. In a work environment this may be a good thing - it allows users to share work on an ad-hoc basis. For students, it's typically a way to move "pirate" material around...) There's also a problem in that if users can create folders in the root share then they will - again, some will do this accidentally and lose work in that way; others will do it maliciously. Whichever, when you have 14,000 folders to worry about you don't want odd ones sneaking in :-) The downside of this is that you can't then have the folder created by the redirection process as the user logs on; no big deal - we script the user creation so we also create the home folder with the permissions we want (admins, system - full; user - modify) On a regular basis we also force the permissions and ownership back to what they should be - I've found setacl (http://setacl.sourceforge.net) to be easier to use for this than subinacl.
