Re: User objects not inheriting permissions

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



are those users member of protected groups or are those users member of
groups that are members of protected groups. Or have been member of?
most probably it is the adminsdholder that is bugging you

Every hour, the Microsoft Windows domain controller that has the primary
domain controller (PDC) emulator operations master role verifies the ACLs on
members of these administrative groups and compares them to the ACL on the
AdminSDHolder object. If the ACL that is on the AdminSDHolder object is
different, the ACLs on the members of the administrative group are reset to
match the ACL on the AdminSDHolder object.

For more info on the ADMINSDHOLDER object see the following related KB
articles (not all may apply to your situation!)

Hi, I've delegated control to different OUs within a large AD as
necessary.
Upon testing I found that those users who should have "full control" could
create and manage objects, but could not edit objects (such as users and
groups) that existed before I delegated control.

On investigation it appears that the vast majority of the the user objects
have the "allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propogate to
this
object.." unticked. To manually change this on every object will take a
very
long time!

Two questions therefore:
1. Can anyone give a resons who these objects have this value unticked?
2. Is there a way that I can automate the necessary process?

To answer some of the likely questions it's functionality is 2003 (no 2000
servers). It's a child domain with 5 DCs.

Thanks
