Re: After changing Share permissions, Even admin is access denied

Probably not good practice to share the entire drive. Best to share the
folders, then apply permissions and NTFS security to the folders.

Nested folders are a PITA, and problematic. You have to turn OFF the
inherited attribute, and turn ON the "this folder, files and folders"
attribute, and apply.

If your subject folders and files are several layers deep you will drive
your self nuts trying to manage different permissions and NTFS settings.

I tried to set the NTFS permissions for all folders from the top level
folder
which is the "d" drive shared as DATA. As soon as I got to the folder I
want
the NTFS permissions to be applied to, I get an access denied error on all
word docs and all excel spread sheets. Now what???

If you are confident that the ownership and permissions on the top-level
folder are correct, go to the Security tab -> Advanced. Click the box to
apply permissions to child objects -> OK. That will apply the NTFS
permissions of the top-level folder to all the subfolders and files. (It
won't have any affect if the share permissions are wrong. If the
administrator can not access the files when logged in locally, it's NTFS
permissions, not share).

Everything I try seems to fail... It almost seems like the folder is
locked??
Make Sense??

Hi Richie:

Assuming the "take ownership" procedure was successful, and you may
want
to
double check, then:

You have a "deny" restriction set somewhere. Share permissions and
NTFS
security settings are distinct, but the more restrictive one will
apply.

Look first at the share permissions, as they are the most
straightforward.
Set everyone full control.

Then look at the settings in NTFS - advanced and set the inheritance
settings to not inherit and the "this folder, files and subfolders"
(from
memory) settings to apply to everything in the folder that is shared
and
from there down.

I still cannot even open files as administrator after changing owner
etc...
This happened after changing permissions to restrict user to only
three
people in addition to administrator. The comptroller of the company
needs
to
do a financial report and cannot open any of the spread sheets or
doc
files.
I, as administrator, cannot open any files directly on the server as
well.
All come up "Access denied". All other folders that are shared are
fine.
This
is SBS 2003 SP2.

Right click the folder and properties. Maybe an advanced click to
take
ownership. Then go back and add users on the security tab.

I usually give everyone full control on the share and restrict on
the
security tab.

I changed the share permissions on a folder in Windows Small Bus

now not even administrator can access the files. They all come up
