Re: Can’t change permissions – “The parameter is incorrect”
Update to 4.2.16 and try again. I suppose my question about the permissions wasn't quite clear enough, what exactly are you trying to set the permissions to be.
1. regular user George creates a new folder (aaaatest) on the root of share //NSERVER/CFS using a windowsXP workstation with the latest SPs and updates.
2. No other users can access the folder aaaatest.
3. As a domain user and admin I also cannot access the folder. I have a mapped drive (N:) to //NSERVER/CFS and a DOS batch file named fixp.cmd I do the following work around:
--------------------- From a DOS shell run cacls (with arg: aaaatest) to view the Windows Access Control List; the output is:
We use no special permissions so this is about the simplest case you'll find. Any user authenticated on the domain can now access the folder aaaatest and all the files under it. Folders and files created subsequently are also accessible to domain users.
Re: Can’t change permissions – “The parameter is incorrect”
We've recently upgraded one of our NAS's to .17 and this ugly little issue has popped up now.
It doesn't matter if we create new folders, or even try older folders... ANY new folder created, is given a default permission set of read-only.
Grevious: Not sure if you're still following this, but I can give you guys access to anything you need, I work directly with Netgear regularly and will provide anything you guys need to finally squash this bug.
As of right now, it's killed productivity to near standstill in several departments, and as you well know, we can't roll back to the previous version of the firmware we were running to revert this problem.
(if you'd like a way to contact me directly to iron out details, let me know and I'll PM you Instant messaging/phone number info)
As of right now, here's a full rundown of everything we have setup.
ReadyNAS 2100 setup running latest .17... I've not run a volume scan or a quota fix since loading .17.
It's setup on a 2003 AD Domain.
NAS Name is: NAS01 Share name is: 'DEPTS' Permissions on DEPTS set as follows: CIFS: Default Access - Read/Write Recycle Bin: 10 days 2Gig NOT Automatically Setting permissions on new Files and Folders (Though, I could SWEAR we had this checked prior to the update) Opslocks enabled
Re: Can’t change permissions – “The parameter is incorrect”
Send me the cacls output of a newly created file(created as a user besides the admin account used to add the nas to the domain) as well as the config backup from Frontview. Just send them as logs(instructions are in my signature).
Re: Can’t change permissions – “The parameter is incorrect”
Config backup was sent... issue is quickly growing here. Have done a full reboot and volume and quota scan since. Half tempted to remove from the domain and reattach it, but I've had the devices lose ALL their folder permissions when I've done that in the past, so I'm reluctant to do it this time. Lemme know if you have any input.
Re: Can’t change permissions – “The parameter is incorrect”
Understood 🙂 Just wanted to get opinions on some steps I could do to lessen the impact here. Is the information sufficient enough to at least narrow down what caused it? (I assume it's something to do with the upgrade from the earlier versions to the newer versions... as I don't seem to have this problem on the new 2100 we've got here.

gn00347026, unfortunately this thread now has more than 1 issue mentioned in it, can you please be more specific?
Shadowlore, I need you to start your own thread regarding your issue since it does not correspond to the other problems experienced in this particular thread.

Dear Grievous
OS: windows 2003 Server Model: readynas 2100 (AD Mode)
after upgraded from 4.2.5 to 4.2.15, then 4.2.17. when i apply/add the new permission to the folder (NAS), i get "the parameter is incorrect" thanks
Does that happen with only folders that existed when the system was running 4.2.5, or newer folders as well? Did it happen when you were running 4.2.15?

Hi grievous Any further suggestion which I can do? Thanks
I just finished trying to reproduce it here on our end again, and it works for us.
Specifically I took a 2100 running 4.2.5, added it to a domain using windows 2003 server that has a bunch of users and groups, copied a bunch of data to the NAS, updated the NAS, set a restrictive permission for the domain users group(read only, unchecked the write permission on a folder), opened the folder and added members of the domain users group to the ACL list with full control. I get no errors, the permissions get applied, and the permissions are enforced as expected. Based on what I just told you that I did, am I missing anything?
(I would have responded to you earlier this morning, but it takes a while to get an environment reproduced sometimes)
Re: Can’t change permissions – “The parameter is incorrect”
Grievous,
What is the status of the original issue? Is it fully resolved in the current RAIDiator version (4.2.17)? I still have the same problems with old shares, but couldn’t reproduce it newly created test share. To fix this permanently do I need to recreate all shares and move the data, or it can be resolved with original shares?

The status would be that we can no longer reproduce it in 4.2.17. Yes, I'd advise creating a new share and copying at least a portion of the data over and checking that it works.
Re: Can’t change permissions – “The parameter is incorrect”
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.
