If you use explorer and type in I:\Data, do you get there? Sounds like it could be UAC related. If you're not logged on with an admin account on the server, you might not see it at all. If you are logged on with an admin account, you are still going to get prompted to elevate (not enough permissions w/out elevation) when you are able to open the i:\data folder. If this is the problem, you could add a group with read/modify permission that includes your admin account, but is not one of the default "administrators" or "domain admins" groups. Or, do you mean the folder has suddenly gained the hidden attribute, which you should be able to see if you set your explorer view to show all hidden items? -Bonnie From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 8:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Folder permissions/attributes issue
Hi Folks, I have several large file and print 2008 servers here. Each has an "i:\" drive that has a number of shares under it such as APPS and DATA. The DATA share is the problem on one of the servers. When I log into it, I cannot see it under i:\. But I can map a drive just fine. The perms are the same at the root of the drive and at the DATA share level: Shareing | Advanced, enable access-based enumeration Share permissions: everyone and administrators have full controle NTFS permissions (inhereted permissions removed): CO, , subfolders and files: full Auth users, this folder, subfoler, files: traverse and list SYSTEM, same as CO with this folder added Administrators, same as SYSTEM Under data we have folder for each department. For each folder I grant the permissions to the departments' respective security groups. I don't recall setting DATA to hidden. Suggestions on favorite tools to dig into this?
