    Windows 2003 Security Permissions on Folders..

    I won't get into all the details of this but just have a quick
    question. I have a person that I've been working with that does his
    own network security on his 2003 Domain. Recently he called me in a
    panic on how a folders security could change without him doing it.
    Basically he removed a group and then it was back in there a few
    months later. The folder is setup correctly to not inherit
    permissions from the parent folder and even if the parent folder
    propegated down to that folder it would have been complete different
    permissions.

    What I'm wondering is if someone has ever had a wierd scenario like
    this or experienced an updated causing some unknown problems.



    Thanks.

    Hello newsqlman,

    Without knowing the share and NTFS permissions on the folder all answer will
    be just speculation and not really a qualified information. Permissions will
    not change themself, it MUST be done with an account that is allowed to do
    it.

    Best regards
