Re: Cannot write to shared folder on W2K8 server

!!!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.
