The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Share refuses to behave as other than read-only.

Asked by fixnix in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: read, only, folder

Win 2ksp4 server, PDC in AD environment with ~ a dozen XPsp1 workstations and a 2ksp4 Adv Server member server.

We recently destroyed and recreated our AD.  Everything in the new is working great *except* one darn share that absolutely refuses to act as anything but read-only.

This is a mapped drive common to every workstation, and everyone is supposed to have full control on/in it.

I've set the SHARE permissions to include both the Everyone and Authenticated Users groups to have full control, as well as the NTFS security permissions (which are not inheriting permissions from parent objects and set to the same "Everyone" and "Authenticated Users" to have "Full Control" rights).

Everyone that connects to the folder now has read-only access and I have no clue why.  When I check the security/advanced/effective permissions on a given non-admin user, it will show greyed out checkboxes with "Full Control" checked, yet the user most definately does not havce full control (can't rename, create, or delete files or folders).

Everything looks correct on the server yet no non-admin can connect.  Also, if I designate a user as able to take ownership then view the share as that user, it says I can only view the owner.  Is there some kind of delay on network share/NTFS security settings propogating over a mapped drive?  This is driving me nuts...have rebooted the workstations many times, tried with and without the "Everyone" group included, disconnecting and remapping the drives, etc...What am I missing?
