When applying permissions, changes take a lonnnnnnnnnng time

[Guest Mike M]

I've noticed this behavior since the NT4 days but never thought to figure

out why this occurs....I'm just tired of dealing with it. :)

 

 

When changing NTFS permissions over the network (not on the file server

itself) once the Apply or OK button is pressed, it takes several minutes for

the permissions window to finally disappear. This behavior is not exhibited

when I'm on the server console, or RDP'd into the server, and changing the

same set of permissions from there.

 

Any clues?

 

TIA,

Mike

Yes, check your Network ... bottlenecks... viral activity... also it sounds

like a GUID issue might be in place... when you change permissions do you get

UI-9908379473964 (numbers in GUID) taking its time in the Permissions tab...

well if so you have a a Domain Controller communication problem.. make sure

your DNS servers are working properly, and see that replication and FSMO

roles are set right. Corruption can happend if you deply Exchange wrong.

 

Also, how long is your Domain login time? Are your nslookups functioning

properly?

I think you've nailed it:

We've seen sporadic blue-screens of nothing...where the end-user hits

ctrl-alt-del to login then the computer just sits there for hours on end.

We see this very infrequently, but we do see it. Sounds like a DNS and/or

network problem. Uggh.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
