Sharing a folder on windows 2008 R2?
Hello Experts,
I'd like to share a folder which called 'Pictures' to 2 security groups.
The folder 'Pictures' is now shared, under 'Security' tab i see 2 security groups which I want them to have access. People in these 2 groups have access to this folder but they can't access to the sub-folders. How do I have them to access to any sub-folders and files which under 'Pictures' folder? Thanks.

Where do you check NTFS permission? is it 'Advanced' button under 'Security' tab?
>>You should check these to ensure the users have the correct permission which include sub folders and files.
Where do u check it again?

Under Security - Advanced tab, it shows apply to 'this folder, subfolders and files' for both entries (2 security groups).
For some reason, when I was trying to access to the subfolders of 'Pictures' folder, I can't even access as domain admin. The message I got is 'You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click continue to permanently get access to this folder.'
When i click 'Continue' it says I don't have permission even my user name belongs to one of the security groups.

When I right click on the subfolders as a domain admin, under Security tab, it says ' You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings.' What is going with these subfolders?
It sounds like you might need to take ownership of these files. I would log on to the server the hosts these files with the Administrator account, go to the security tab and then advanced and then the ownership tab and take ownership.
Assuming this account has permission to do this (which the admin account should have) you can reset the permissions.

It sounds like the users have incorrect NTFS permission. You should check these to ensure the users have the correct permission which include sub folders and files.
