Hello,
What I am having an issue with is Vista creating folders with the wrong owner name. We use a service that reads the folders owner name then does a count of how many files are in it. The service has domain admin rights, but doesn't make any changes, it only counts files.
Details:
Windows Vista Business, fully updated
vista is on a domain controlled by windows server 2003 r2.
all our users are domain users and are set on the local machine in the power users group.
no firewall for all profiles (public, domain, private is all off in MMC_windows firewall snap-in)
Problem issues;
originally we kept our users in administrators so they could have full access. The problem we were having is that when the user created a new folder the owner would be BUILTIN/administrators and not the domain user name. We moved the users down to power users and this solved the issue for the most part. The issue now is that sometimes when a user will create a folder the owner will set to domain/username and other times it will say BUILTIN/Administrators even though they are not in the administrators group anymore.
One way for me to fix this is by going to the machine and changing the owner from BUILTIN/administrators to domain/username.. This normally fixes it, but some times ones I have fixed will revert back to BUILTIN/Administrators.
In my local group for administrators only the domain admin and local admin are listed. under power users I see Domain admins, and under users there is NT Authority/Authenticated users and NT authority\Interactive
I've been trying to pin point this problem for 3 months. We never had any issues with XP and have exhausted all options that we can think of.
Can anyone give me any insight to why vista would create the folder's owner name as BUILTIN/administrators and not the domain users name at random? I've had users create a folder and get the proper owner name, then create a new one right after and it would show as BUILTIN/administrators..
thanks!
