NTFS permissions correctly replicated, share permission not replic Andrea Casini 09.07.2007 14:28:05 Hi, i've set up DFS-R on three server across a AD configuration with 3 separate sites and everything works just fine. Now i want to implement a namespace to publish my shares so to take advantage of failover in case of a file server failure. When i publish a share in the namespace via DFS Management i get all permission correctly, but if i change the share permission on one folder on any server this is not changed in the other servers keeping the same folder. If i change NTFS permissions on that folder it gets replicated correctly. Any idea why? What is the right way to operate a change on a share permission if that folder is being replicated and share on many servers with DFS? Thankx

Others might also agree with me here, but usually I don't touch actual share permissions. Typically, if it's going to be a read/write share I give "Everyone" "Full Access" to that share. From there I handle all permissions via NTFS. It’s a lot easier because those permissions are replicated and I don't have worry about which server has which permission set. I suppose you could make an argument for "read-only" servers. But in that case you don't want the share permissions replicating. Hope this helps, -- Joseph Daigle

Re: NTFS permissions correctly replicated, share permission not re Andrea Casini 09.07.2007 14:46:04 I agree that everything could be handled via NTFS Permissions, i was just wondering if i was doing something wrong, if something was wrong with my infrastructure or if DFS simply can't handle share permissions on folders spread over the namespace. Thanx for the reply, anyway. Anybody else?

Re: NTFS permissions correctly replicated, share permission not re "Danny Sanders" <DSanders[ at ]NOSPAMciber.com> 09.07.2007 15:27:42 From what I understand Share permissions do not replicate. At one point MS was pushing one way replication with DFSR. You would prevent replication on one end using share permissions. AFAIK they have backed off one way replication because there were too many problems. hth DDS "Andrea Casini" <AndreaCasini[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0ED48689-554F-46F2-8B57-22CD7815A634[ at ]microsoft.com...
