http://serverfault.com – We've just moved to Server 2008 R2, and I have setup folder redirection for our users using group policy. All folders redirect and work as expected: users My documents are redirected. users can create and delete folders and documents within redirected folders. users can only access their own redirected folders Administrators can access users redirected folders The issue i'm having is moving the users backed-up documents from our old server into the newly redirected folders. When I copy or move the files, the files do not get the expected users inherited permissions, and the user cannot ac (HowTos)

Stories similar to How to copy files into redirected folders

I need freelancers to be able to download and upload files to some of my websites on my Ubuntu server, but not all.

How do I set it up so that each freelancer is a user who has access to only the sites that they should be able to access and nothing else?

I've followed the instructions I found to set up ftp users with access to particular folders via bind.

I'm testing out Folder Redirection for several folders and I have my Desktop redirected to a network share. I created a script, saved it to my Desktop, and I'm trying to run it in an elevated CMD. However, I cannot CD into C:\Users\jsmith\Desktop in order to run the script!

I would assume that there would be some sort of link to the shared location.

I want to use Group Policy to redirect my users' My Documents folders to their network user folders. When I choose the GP setting that says "Redirect to the user's home directory", it changes all of my users' folder names to "My Documents" on my server. According to this article, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947222, the behavior is by design, but it doesn't seem right.

I amm moving stuff out of a file Server. I am using DFS for that - the Folders are anyway in a DFS tree, so I can set up a replication temporarily, then drop the old Folder. Works nice, EXCEPT for the Folder containing the users home drives. Which, incidentally, is also the one I can not see all files in due to my permissions.

Small Setup.

A bit about current setup:

It is windows 2008 R2 AD servers (all of them are 2008R2) and couple locations which set as Sites. Each location has DFS on AD server. Roaming profiles are not used nor configured. Users have their home folder configured as mapped S: drive to DFS shared folder.

All users can login into the same PC (our board room PC) on the network and access the SBSe shares minus one user who can login but cannot mount the mapped network drives or access his Desktop which is redirected to the server.

i want to mount a FTP server with vsftpd.

My requirements are:

-Six different folders where is stored all information according to what is it about.

-Seven users with access to some of the last six folders, each user has access to a different group of folders, some of them has access to all folders and others to only one.

I'm thinking about the best way of accomplish this.

I have a RAID10 array mounted on Ubuntu Server 12.04.

We want to fix our data folders structre in Samba, for example our folders would be like as Data/Group A/2010 /A

We want all our users can work only in folder A and no one can create any files in data, GroupA, 2010 folders. Similarly no one can delete these basic folders. However users can create further folders in A as required.

Is this possible in samba?
