Home directories are on h:, connected to \\fileserver\home\username Permissions on that directory for each user are Full Control for admins, Change for the user. The weird part is that I am frequently seeing Full Control on subdirectories - \\fileserver\home\username\project How the heck is that happening? They are only writing/copying files from their workstations. Thoughts?
