Encountered issue when migrating file shares from an NT4
BDC to a W2K3 member server in mixed mode AD.
File share on the BDC had permissions applied using local
groups. FSMT migrated the shares and data and
permissions perfectly. However, users got Access Denied
messages.
This is because Domain Local groups do not exist properly
in mixed mode AD - see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;260534
Point is why didn't the FSMT flag this as an error?
Using the GUI doesn't allow you to select a Domain Local
group to apply permissions to, only Global groups when in
mixed mode. Yet FSMT performed the operation with no
indication that it wouldn't work. Looking at the file
and share permissions it looked as though permissions had
been applied properly, but access was still denied.
Try it and you'll see what I mean.
FSMT should flag this behaviour with local groups when in
mixed mode.
That's it off my chest!
