I work in a school district. We have moved our student folders to WIndows server 2008 (datacenter edition) this past fall. Our files structure has root folders named with the graduation year and inside those folders are the individual student home folders. Staff have both share and NTFS permissions on the root folders that flow down. Students only have permission on their individual home folders. none of the have full-control.
At least 3 times this year we have had all students in random graduation years lose rights to their home folder (no longer lsited) and consequently lose the abilioty to access thier folder. The staff rights to those same folders remain intact. We've had to go back in and manually re-add their user and grant permissions. THis takes hours. It doesn't always happen to the same root folder. It would appear that the root folders (grad year) permissions are getting reset and pushed down, overwirting the individual student folder permissions.
Domain admins are the only security group that has full-control and non of us are changing permissions on the root folder, as far as we know.
This has never been a probelm in the past. THe two things aht have changed is that the home oflders are now on Server 2008 and the most of the users, inculding the domain admins, are running Windows 7.
I am audting for permssion changes and the last time it happened, it didn't show me anything (I did test the audit reporting by changing a permission on a folder and that WAS recorded in the event viewer).
THoghts?
