Some of us still have entry level tech's. I would rather make it harder to get it to work, than have a "oops, everyone now has full rights to the CEO's personal folder". On the rare occasion that a tech goofs on permissions, they have to goof twice if using shares.

Someone uses share permissions? I thought share permissions were just a hangover from the Win9x days (or when people installed NT4 with FAT32 file system instead of NTFS) to provide some security for those systems that couldn't do it on a file level. I'd use this opportunity to knock the share permissions on the head and drop them to Everyone:Full Control. They generally end up as the reason you can't work out why someone can't access a file. 2009/9/3 Terri Esham <terri.es...@noaa.gov>: > What is the best free tool to copy share and NTFS permissions from one > SAN disk to another.
