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...
We're experiencing the same issue under certain conditions, which seem to be easily replicable, at least on our 18 TB ReadyNAS 3200
1) Create share default (no public access)
2) Under advanced, set user and group to domain account and domain group, keeping R/W for the group, and disabling Everyone
3) Take properties for the share, take the domain group, and change it from "This Folder Only" to "This Folder, Subfolders, and Files" in advanced.
4) "The parameter is incorrect"
This is probably by design somehow in the way that the NTFS access rights are used through this system, but it's MILDLY annoying. (Which means: My table has teeth marks at this point)
I can do it by using a separate group I guess, but I'm trying to avoid that for multiple reasons. Also, adding SOME groups, they just disappear again with no error, when hitting apply. (for instance adding a group for all users in a specific OU - I add, set rights, and it just disappears when hitting Apply)
Note that this is a setup with 800 local users (for our 6 OUs), in a global AD with over 200 OUs - from an enterprise point of view, it's not really giving me the options I need, sadly.
