Re: Permissions on filesystem via Group policy



Make sure that the computer that you want this to apply to is in the OU
where this Group Policy was applied. If it is a Windows XP/2003 computer you
can use the Resultant Set of Policy mmc snapin to see exactly what Group
Policy settings are being applied to it. For file system keep in mind that
you want to disable "inherited permissions" in the advanced page if you only
want the permissions you explicitly defined to apply to the file via file
system. --- Steve
