Re: Cannot write to shared folder on W2K8 server

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

I don't think having Everyone=FULL was a cause to this issue. What exactly
it was I still don't have a clue because as tated if I removed the share and
reapplied it should have worked. Obviously it has something to do with not
created the share fisrt and copying over the contents. What I did was copied
over the share and contents to C:\
In any case all is well that ends well. Thanks for your time and input Ace.

!!!UPDATE!!!!

After reading your latest post and Meinolf about how you cannot recreate
my issues led me to try to recreate it myself. Guess what? I can't. I
created a new folder and share on C: and can write to it from my desktop.
Only change I made was to grant Eveyone=FULL on the Share permissions. So
why can't I wrtie to that other share?
This folder was not originally created on the W2K8 server. I pretty much
used a freeware (GoodSynch) file and folder synchronization program to
move this folder and share from a W2K3 server to this W2K8 server. Which
I still don't understand why it doesn't work especially if I had
reapplied the share permissions and NTFS security. Go figure.

Hmm, interesting. I wasn't aware of a freeware product that will do this.
I've always used xcalcs or robocopy to move stuff like this, and just
recreate the share manually.

And reading back, it appears, if I read it correctly in one of your other
posts, that you disabled sharing completely on the IT folder, then
re-shared it and it still didn't work. Interesting. If that was the case,
maybe removing the share and NTFS permissions, except for administrator,
and then reapply the NTFS permissions, then the Share. Keep in mind when a
connection is made across the wire through a share, the system will
evaluate both the share permissions and applies the lease restrictive
value, then the NTFS perms, and apply the lest restrictive value, then
combines them both and applies the most restrictive value. That is why we
normally suggest, and is best practice, on the share side to remove
Everyone, and replace it with Auth Users, and allow Auth Users FC, and
Domain Admins FC, and allow the NTFS side to control the overall resultant
permissions.
