If I log on with an admin account, I see the root i: folder, and three of the four shares. The DATA share is what I cannot see, but can map to. The odd thing is that in the Share and Storage Management utility it appears to be configured identically to my other campus file server, and there is no visibility issue with that server's share. I didn't even realize this until recently, when my backup guy told me about it. So it may have been setup this way since I created the share. My goal was to prevent departments from seeing other departments folders (data share has all department folders under it, each assigned perms based on group). The root DATA share perms have the server's local administrators group having full control, of which domain admins is a member. UAC is enabled, so I'm guessing this might be the issue. Not sure why.

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?
