Folder permissions help richard@rrcomputerconsulting.c 11-16-2007

 Hi,

Our server is Windows 2003 SBS R2. Group policy is configured to
redirect "My Documents" on the clients to a folder on the server. This
works great! Problem is that I need to move all these User folders to
a different hard drive because of space issues.

Problem: The permissions on the folders are for the individual user
ONLY. Even Administrator cannot access them! However I can take
Ownership - but this completely resets the permissions so that only
Administrator can access the folders. I don't want to reset
permissions on 20+ folders for different users.

Is there a way to add permissions without going to each computer and
using the user accounts to modify the permissions?

Thanks!

-Richard

 You can use Backup/Restore to move folders you don't have rights to,
