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 having this issue as well, with two different customers. Once customer is user a 2003 Domain with an NVX, and the other on a 2008R2 Domain using a 2100. Both are running 4.2.17 of the firmware.
Only reason I came across this is both of my clients asked to change the permissions on a single folder inside of a share that is shared to "domain users". I went in the un-inherit permissions and then add only those domain users I wanted with Read/write. This seemed to work, but when users started complaining, I went back in to just reset everything back to normal, and then I got the infamous "Paremeter is incorrect".
I even went into the ReadyNAS frontView and went to the advanced tab and reset the permissions there. IT said it was successful but that one folder it didnt have an effect on. I did this on both users 2003 with NVX and 2008R2 with 2100)
I tried this on existing shares (created before the 4.2.17 updates) and on brand new shares (created today) and have run into the same issue.
I have read in other forum posts that this all goes back to having the "Domain Users" as the folder read/write group and that is I just make up a new security group, add the users to the new group, and reset all the permissions these issues go away. Can anyone confirm this?
If I dont hear by about 8 tonight, I will remote in to my customers and give this a shot.
