Hello.

We have a AD sytem setup on one server, with about 50 users. Each user have thier own folder setup under D:\PSI\Users\jdoe which is Z:\PSI\Users\jdoe to them since they have a network drive mapped.

Everyone in the domain is a domain admin. We have a mix of Win2k and WinXp Pro.. but the problem is..users go into thier own folder which they own and have full permissions on, and create folders.. no big deal.. but then try to move word docs etc.. into these new folders.. and it wont let them. I've also been told they can't delete either. Please help.

 
I know it sounds silly, but try checking the folder attributes in properties and make sure they have no special settings, like Read-Only.
 
Yes,

They are. It seems to be a problem with only windows 2000 people. The users on Windows XP dont seem to have this problem. Very few of the user folders have I got setup with permissions just to let the admin and the user in.. the other ones are just system default. However...I should try moving stuff as a user outside thier folder like in one of our branch office folders and see what happens.. while I am doing that does nayone else have any other suggestions of what might be the problem.

 
Are the rights at the User's directory level be propagated to the sub folders? It sounds almost as if they have rights to the root of their directory but these rights are't being assigned to the sub folders.

Hi,

I guess I should give a little more info. I copied all thier data from an old server that was on NT4Server. Would that make a difference. I will have to check on the subfolders. I know the user root folders are setup right.. but never thought of checking out the user subfolders.
