Users with full control and full share permissions can't write to shared folder
Greetings,
I have a weird problem that occurred during migration of file server. We had old file server Windows 2003 which we migrated to Windows 2008 Server R2. The problem is some of the shared folders are shared with full permissions for the users (NTFS and shared permissions are configured correctly), but users CAN access the files but CAN'T write to shared folder. We tried to remove all permissions and add them again manually but it still doesn't work like it should. So any suggestions would be welcome. I'm running blind in this case. The effective permissions for all users are Full Control. When we added a new test user to same share directory, the user could write to the shared folder.
Thanks in advance.
If you need any further information let me know.

You can use Accessenum & sharenum too to verify the permission on the folder.
Try to take the ownership of the folder,define the access again,see if it works.

Antyrael: A new group was created and permissions were assigned to that group. To no effect. Logoff, Login didn't make any difference
Awinish: accessenum, shareenum show the same permission model. Ownership was taken and access granted. Didn't work.

If you create a new folder & give user access, if it works i can think of file/folder corruption.
Can you check permission on root drive which is inheriting to other folders?

What is your AD OS version, is it 2008 r2 or still 2003
try to remove the inheritance option and copy the permission, and then re-add the permissions on all folders

Problem was with inheritance permissions since folders were part of already shared folder.
Thanks for all your time and help.

ChiefIT: too Good..:)

Thanks. (I ran into this myself a whil ago. It took me a week to sort out all of our shares, break inheretance, and remove all the inhereted permissions for it to work right).

You may want to do this in 2 steps:
1) remove group(s) from a user, logout and back in again,
2) add user to the group(s) again, logout and back in again.
