Permissions revert to full accesss to everyone

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

I don't know offhand why that happened but you can manually set permissions to what
you want for that drive. If it shows it has inherited permissions, then select
advanced and uncheck "inherit from parent... ". You will be prompted to remove or
copy current permissions. I suggest you select copy and then apply. You should now
have explicit permissions for that drive and you can configure them to your
eeds. --- Steve

Thanks, the problem with this is that I have hundreds of folders like
this. It won't be pretty. Could it be that the mount point does not
inherit permissions from parents?

Hmm. I have not used mounted drives much. I wonder if they get their permissions from
the empty folder you mount them on. Since you have a lot of drives to set permissions
on you may want to look at using the command line utilities of cacls, xcacls, or
fileacl [free download]. For cacls or xcacls you can use the /e switch to modify
existing permissions or use just /g to replace current permissions and you can list
permissions for more than one group/user at a time. Fileacl is much more powerful if
you need to do advanced file configuration. --- Steve

There are two places to set permissions for mounted volumes (argh).
The first is in the obvious place - and that's where I have been
setting it. The second is under the "Advanced" option in the first
properties tab. So dopey.

Glad you figured it out. We all complicate our own lives some days. As long as it is
not every day we should be fine. --- Steve
