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...
I am also having this issue for me it seems to have appeared after updating to 4.2.15. Windows 2008 Server AD domain based network mix of Win 7 and XP Clients. I have made NO CHANGES to permission on the NAS share.
Creating a new folder on the share results in the same issues as other are having. Domain users are blocked from accessing the folder. I have tried modifying the rights from the Server, Win xp client and Win 7 client to no avail. I have tried removing the domain uses group using the windows client but based on above the NAS apparently assigns those rights.
Trying to modify domain user rights on a folder that already existed prior to applying the update also was unsuccessful and in fact fubar'd user access to the folder.
on the new folder reviewing the advanced settings I found that root was the owner of the folder - i then took control with my user account which is also a domain admin - attempted to change permissions - no go
under advance permissions it shows permission as special - not inherited and this folder only. Apparently 4.2.15 borked all the AD settings on the NAS. Looks like this has been happening for a while - hopefully netgear will actually decide to fix it - essentially the NAS is now a BRICK for me
edit: also i did contact netgear support and was told that tech support is aware of the issue and has a fix but it would cost me either 75.00/hr or 299.00 for a support contract in order to get it resolved. Clearly netgear is aware of the issue and apparently is looking at it as a way to increase their revenue.
