Windows 7 + ADS permissions problems

I assume they were making changes to save time rather than continuing to ask me to do so only to listen to me verify that I understood what they were asking me to do. This was a telephone support instance in which we were on the phone going on 5-6 hours.

The CIFS permissions settings on the share in question are set *exactly* as specified in the other thread (I'll re-cover those here for posterity):

CIFS settings:
Default access: Read/Write
Allow guest access: enabled
Groups allowed full control on share ACL: homedomain.lan\users, remotedomain.local\remoteusers
Recycle bin: enabled (default settings)
Advanced CIFS Permission: Automatically set permissions ... enabled, Do not allow ... disabled, Group Rights: Read/Write, Everyone Rights: Read/Write
Oplocks: enabled

Advanced Options:
Share folder owner: root (will not let me change)
Share folder group: domain users (will not let me change)
Share folder owner rights: Read/Write (greyed out, unchangeable)
Share folder group rights: Read/Write
Share folder everyone rights: Read/Write
Set ownership and permission ... disabled
Grant rename and delete ... enabled
Advanced Share Utilities: disabled

Originally "Guest access" was disabled and the user groups I was trying to use to apply ACL permissions via Windows Explorer were "homedomain.lan\domain users" and "remotedomain.local\domain users". The moment I switched from using the "domain users" group in both domains to using something different in both domains things started getting better for everyone except Vista and Windows 7 clients. Prior to that change even Windows XP users were having issues.

Yes, there should be three open cases with Netgear for three separate problems, including this one. One of the cases was marked pre-sale about an NV+, and that case has been closed, although the problem was not solved. The other two cases I have submitted were using either this address or were submitted under a shared mail account so that my bosses could also get updates in case I was unavailable to assist in troubleshooting. I don't think I have the support case numbers for those written down, unfortunately. I was pretty upset with Netgear there for a bit, as I was told by a tech regarding the NV+ case that my request basically "got lost in the mail".

I'll stick to this thread from now on.

Thanks.
