C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL has
Administrators > Full Control
Authenticated Users > Read & Execute
Creator Owner > none (allow & deny not checked)
Server Operators > Read & Execute
System > Full Control

Domain users not listed. I will add it right now

On the SYSVOL share the share permissions are
Administrators > Full Control
Authenticated Users > Full Control
Everyone > Read

I went to add domain users to the security settings and I get an alert
You are about to change the permission settings on system folders, which can result in unexpected access problems and
reduce security. Do you want to continue?

Not going to do that right now. What should I do?
