Changes to folder permissions not taking effect on Server 2008


Recommended Posts

We have a new 2008 Server setup to replace an Apple OSX server. Our first

Windows file server in years so bear with me.

 

I have a share created and gave read access to the department using it. The

Data folder below that gives the department R/W access to everything. There

are only 2 special access folders, on which I turned off 'Include Inherited

Permissions from this objects parent' and removed the department from the

list. Then I added an Active Directory group and gave them R/W.

 

At this point my test account could browse the whole Data structure, but not

see the special access folders. Good. Then I added my test account to that AD

group to verify access. But it doesn't work - I couldn't get in. I needed to

log off the client machine (disconnecting and reconnecting the share didn't

help), and upon logging back in and reconnecting to the share I could see the

secured folders. Removing the test user from the AD group had the same

problem. I could access the folder for hours after, until I tried logging in

and out to 'fix' the problem.

 

I tried gpupdate on client and server to no avail. And the Effective

Permissions tab shows the expected rights, but the client doesn't seem to

care. Seems weird to have to log off of the client for security on the server

to take affect.

 

Server is 2008 SP1, client is XP Pro SP2.

 

What am I missing?

I am also having same kind of problem in win2003 server. added 2 users to a

group, applied permissions under share tab as full access, and under security

added group with read, execute rights, but it doesn't apply unless I resatrt

client(xp sp2)

 

don't know what can be the solution.

What you're seeing is the expected behavior.

 

When a user logs on, Windows creates a SID (security identifier) that

contains a list of the security groups the user belongs to at that

particular moment. Each time that user accesses a resource, the resource

compares its own access list to the user's SID to check what permissions

that user has. If you subsequently change that user's group membership,

there's no way for an access control list to know this. The SID gets updated

only when the user next logs on.
