2008 File Server Admin Access
Hello,
We recently migrated our shared drives from server 2003 to server 2008R2 with the file server role installed. Since doing so, when browsing locally as a domain admin, a number of folders on the server pop up with the "You don't currently have permission to access this folder." error when accessed. I click the Continue button and it then takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to allow access. NTFS permissions show that the local admin group has full rights to the folder. I have check the local admin group and domain admins are listed there. So I don't understand why this error ever shows up.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix/speed this up?
Potentially important, when we moved the drives, we dropped them off the old VM and attached them to this current VM.

You can very well use the "subinacl" to take ownership\access right over the folder. Also check the permission is properly inherited from the Root folder..,
Try doing a right click and select run as administrator, believe it or not this is a common problem even when no users are specified (ie no user logon screen when booting up windows).
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks, added the local admin as owner. One exception was he system folder; asked if I wanted to reset all perms. Said no, all is fine.
