Hello-

Just inherited a network and there is strange issue going on

The MY document are redirected to the u:\users\%username% folder

The domain users group is part of the domain admins group and administrators
group. I'm trying to remove this and tighten up the security on the folde
rbecaue right now it is wide open

But when I do this users cannot save documents in their my documents folder,
they get access denied or file is read only

I have compared the permissions to other servers I have that but I cannot
pinpoint it


Any insight wpuld be appreciated
Thanks

Check the parent share permissions on the server to make sure that users (or
even EVERYONE) has full control. Then check the NTFS permissions.
