Re: Wierd permissions on user accounts

> If you put in DENY EVERYONE change password, then nobody will ever be able
to change the pwd, because a DENY ace has precedence over any ALLOW ace.

If the deny is inherited, and you add an explicit allow to the objects DACL
though, this will override the deny.

I believe the order that permissions are checked against is actually:

Explicit deny
Explit allow
Inherited deny
Inherited allow.

I may be wrong though -bit nervous about contradicting one of the main DS
guys ;-)


> Change password operation is defined as "remove old value" + "add new value", and the old value must match. This is different from reset pwd, where you just specify the new value.

That's a nice tip; most definitely worth noting down.
