folder access permissions

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

I just moved a file server into our domain as a member server, hoping to keep
user accounts and permissions intact. However, users that log into the domain
cannot get at their folders unless I manually add their domain account to
their folder. Users that aren't in the domain yet are okay. I guess this
makes sense security wise, but is there a quicker way to do this? I tried
adding the member server user group to the Domain Users but couldn't get it
to work.

Any help is appreciated as users are starting to complain.

Thanks,
Darrell

That is the way it works in a domain. If you need to control access to a
folder to be a single user you will have to add the domain users account to
the ACL for a folder that already exists. Normally when setting up domain
users you can assign home folders via their user account in AD Users and
Computers or use Folder Redirection. That may not work well as an after the
fact configuration but it is something to consider. The links below explain
more. --- Steve
