Re: Best practice for local folder security

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



OK if it is information to obtain regarding what they would be asking you on
cert test then you are best to go with sing local groups and populating them
with domain global or unicersal groups.

What I mean by "Plus it keeps the folder security clean so you don't see all
those SID's and accounts unknown remnants when you view NTFS folder
permissions." Let's say you have a domain group applied to a folder on a
local server NTFS permissions. What happens when you "delete" this group
from AD? Go back and look at the folders NTFS permissions and you will see
what I mean. The group no longer exists so it cannot be resolved and you end
up with those SID remnents. Now if you used local groups populated with
domain global groups and you delete that global group you see no garbage.

best practices days however it still applies. Why? First of all and most

permissions.

Surely you only see SIDs in an ACL if a domain controller can't be
contacted? Also, can you explain what you mean by all administration
can be done from any AD server? As it looks to me that this also
applies to the other method (especially if you are using remote
desktop).

I'm not arguing BTW, just want to understand this as I'm studying for
the MCSA.
