Can’t change permissions – “The parameter is incorrect”
I have three ReadyNAS Pro Business boxes on Windows Server 2003 domain. Just noticed that there are some issues with changing permission on Windows machines. Basically if a user creates a folder an...
This seems to be related to the "Domain Users" security group. At lease for me. Thanks to level-3 support I have a workaround now.
This is a workaround I used:
Using a windows client and administrator account remove Domain Users from share's root and add everyone instead. Re-Adding domain users also seems to works, but you have to use Advanced Security window and make sure permissions apply to "This Folder Only"
Set required permissions on the next level folders but DO NOT use "domain users". Other security groups seems to be fine, but as soon as you try to use "domain users" issue re-appears. Also, "everyone" for me only works on share's root. If I try to use "everyone" instead of "domain users" on next level folders it doesn't make any difference.
Issue also reappears for me if a profile folder is created automatically by Active Directory. What I have to do is log-on as a user and create folder manually. Then I can edit permissions as an administrator. A bit messy but al least works.
Hopefully a proper fix will come soon.
