That's due to the way permissions inheritance is implemented in NTFS. When you change permissions on an folder tree with inheritance enabled, NTFS goes through the entire directory tree and updates the ACL on each and every contained file. (Those of us who remember NetWare still shake their heads at this.) So, in your case, the system is reading, updating, and writing over one million ACLs. That's a lot of disk I/O. > What if anything can I do to resolve this slow response time? As Rene de Haas suggests, use groups instead of direct ACLs. Create a group called something like "Traverse Share1", grant it T/L/R rights on the folder, and then just add groups/users to that group. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
