Actually, Active Directory is not designed to manage security settings in
that way - you will still use NTFS permissions on the files/folders using
Windows Explorer.

You can assign NTFS permissions using Group Policy, but this is only
typically done when you have a large number of computers with the same
file/folder that needs the permissions configured - not for the permissions
on a single share.

Also, when you create a shared folder object in the directory you are *not*
creating a shared folder. Rather, you are publishing a share in the
directory which basically means you are leaving a pointer that says "Hey,
this shared folder is available over there >>>." The shared folder needs to
already be created (although AD Users and Computers will let you publish the
share even if it does not yet exist - in contrast it actually checks if a
printer exists).
