I think you missed my point about using the same folder and keeping the old 
permissions for the old domain account.

migration

Normally you set the permissions on the share the “standard” way, then when you 
assign the drive to the user account, the user’s folder will be automatically 
created with the correct perms. The only thing that is different for your 
desired permissions is that you want Modify instead of Full for each user.

So a slight variation from the standard in the NTFS perms on the “home” shared 
folder:

Domain Admins: Full – This folder subfolder and files
Authenticated Users: Traverse folder, List folder, read attributes, read 
permissions - This folder only
Creator Owner: *Modify* -  Subfolders and files only
System: Full

Creator Owner is the key. It needs to be “Subfolders and files only”. The 
standard is Full, but you would use Modify in your case. (I don’t blame you for 
that, by the way, I see no reason to give users the ability to change perms 
even on their own data.)

Of course the share level perms can just be:

Domain Admins: Full
Authenticated Users: Change

Subject: [NTSysADM] Change to home folder permissions as part of domain 
migration


Having some trouble figuring this one out.

I have 500 user accounts in Domain A.   Those user accounts all have a Home 
Directory assigned in AD as 
\\server1\home\%username%<file:///\\server1\home\%25username%25>  .  The 
permission on each user’s directory is as follows:

Domain A\Domain Admins – FULL
Domain A\%username% – MODIFY

Those 500 user accounts will be created in Domain B (there already is a 2 way 
trust in place) because Domain A is going away.  Those 500 new accounts in 
Domain B need to use the SAME home folder path as they did in Domain A 
(\\server1\home\%username%<file:///\\server1\home\%25username%25>).   What I 
need to figure out is, how I can adjust the permissions on each user’s home 
folder to merely ADD in MODIFY access for their new account in Domain B, and 
ADD in FULL access for Domain B\Domain Admins, WITHOUT removing any of the 
current permissions on their home folder.

The permission on each user’s directory should end up as follows:

Domain A\Domain Admins – FULL
Domain A\%username% – MODIFY
Domain B\Domain Admins – FULL (new)
Domain B\%username% - MODIFY (new)

Any help?
