AND no one can save any files, the Access Data Bases are saying Read Only and they can tmodify anything...

I have tried:

attrib -r -s from cmd and although it dosent show R it still is there.

Removing it manully, it keeps coming back when I reopen the folder.

adding a DWORD value of UseSystemForSystemFolders = 1

jeez nothing is working where the hell is this read only inheriting from??

Thanks in advance for any help
 
Try the share properties. Default for 2003 is Everyone:Read.

we removed the eveyone group and replaced it with domain users full control.

we did that about a week ago could that have something to do with it?

cause it wasnt my idea ;-)
 
So... you're Domain Users:Full at the share level, what are the permissions at the NTFS level?

Typically domain users is OK. You can also try "Authenticated Users".

NTFS is Domain Admins full
Domain Users read write
System full

Administrator account keeps popping up here and there as well, its like a fricken gremlin in there havin at it

it seems to be inheriting rights from somwhere im not aware of.

It was fine just yesterday morning then bang

 
Sounds like there is an application running that is doing this. Check the system for malware. After that open a command prompt at the root of your share and do attrib -h -r -s *.* /S /D

If necessary start rebuilding your permissions from the root of the share.
