This is OT for this forum and you didn't prefix with OT
which could be why I don't see any responses...
In the meanwhile, I would say no, if you just modify an
existing file in a folder, it shouldn't update the folder modification date
because there has been no change to the folder. Consider a folder is a directory
which is sort of like a file. You modify a directory/folder file when you modify
the "contents" of that directory file... aka the data the directory is
responsible for... i.e. you add/delete entries in the directory, either files or
subdirectories. Anything else and you are putting a tremendous load on the
system especially if they have deep hierarchical directory structures for what I
would consider no reason. Consider you have a folder structure with tens of
thousands of folders at various levels even up to 20 levels deep and you have
thousands of people making changes and you are expecting all of those changes to
cascade further changes all the way back to the root of the drive... No, makes
no sense really.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Date Modification not same on the folder and subfolder level
Hi All,
On my file server, why do i get different modified dates for users main folder and subfolders and even the files in the subfolders.
My concern is even if a user has changed or modified a file on any specific date, the parent folder should show me the latest modified date. Or if we have N number of files modified on different dates, then what should be the date on the parent folder ?
Thanks in advance.
