Offline Folders and Permissions on a Windows 2000 Server
Please help me understand this ...
I have a Windows 2000 server with a share to the C:\users folder
Permissions: Network Share has Everyone Full Control
NTFS gives Domain Admins, System Full Control, but nothing else.
Under this I have the Users Folders C:\users\user1.
Permissions: Network Share - Everyone Full Control
NTFS share of Domain Admins, System and User1 - Full Control.
I even have one additional folder under the Users folder called My Documents to actually use for the offline folder redirection
C:\users\user1\my Documents
Permissions: Network Share - Everyone Full Control
NTFS - Domain Admins, System, User1 - Full Control.
Now, from the User1 Windows 2000 Professional Desktop, I try to setup offline folders. I get an "Access Denied" as I try to sync. However, if the C:\users share has NTFS permissions of at least Read (maybe list, haven't tried that yet), synchronization works.
Now, if I put the NTFS permission of even list for authenticated users on the C:\users share, then I am going to have to go to each individual folder and take that off because I don't want everyone having access to see what is in other users folders.
WHY?
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
