Permissions Issue

[Guest nevets2001uk]

I'm having a very annoying issue with Permissions on a server recently added

to our domain.

 

We have some software that generates PDF files sent from an old Alpha

system. It creates the files in any of 10 directories depending on the

document type. It runs as a Local System service and has been working fine

until now.

 

Recently the files it creates have not been inheriting permissions from the

parent folder. They get Administrator and System Full Control only. We have

three groups (1 local, 2 domain) and non of these are given the proper access

to newly created files.

 

If I manually create a new file in the directory it inherits the permissions

as expected. If I do the replace permissions on all child object from the

parent folder the files all get the appropriate permissions.

 

It just seems that they don't get them when they are first created.

 

I've tried so many things, from removing the permissions and re-adding them,

to turning inheritiance off and then on to even deleting the folders, re

creating them and applying the permissions and share access from scratch.

Always with the same result.

 

Any thoughts and ideas would be much appreciated. My heads hurting from

banging the wall so many times!!

Hello nevets2001uk,

 

On which way are the files created to the folders, via script? Then please

post the script content.

Re: Permissions Issue

 

We're using a piece of software called StreamServe that recieves the output

files from the Alpha, reformats them, prints them to a physical printer and

creates a PDF copy at the folder location.

 

I'm not sure how exactly it creates the files though I'm afraid.

Hello nevets2001uk,

 

I would talk to the software vendor maybe they set the permissions automatically.

Re: Permissions Issue

 

Thanks.

 

I've got a call out with the vendor at the moment. I do wonder if this could

be linked to joining the domain since before we did that we had no issues at

all and the files always inherited the correct permissions. It then worked OK

for a few days after I messed around with inheritance before stopping again

for seeminly no reason.
