Inherited Permissions disabled? John Schmidt 10-12-2007

Whenever I check security on users in Active Directory Users and Groups I
notice the checkbox for Inherit Permissions under Security-> Advanced for
any user is unchecked. So I check it on to inherit new permissions I've set
up for Blackberry access, and it all looks fine and the Blackberrys work as
expected, but in about 20-30 minutes, the Blackberry's lose the ability to
send email, so I check the users' permissions again, only to see the ones
previously assigned by the Inherit Permissions checkbox are missing, and the
box is again unchecked.

Where is the setting that controls the Inherit Permissions functionality for
all users? I admit, I'm not an Active Directory whiz, but I've been managing
this network for 5 years and this is the first this has come up.

Thanks for any direction!

John

John,
This is by design to protect membership of protected built-in groups:

Yeah - I'd already seen that article, but as far as I know, none of these
users are members of protected groups. For example, I can create a new
regular user, and inheritance is still automatically disabled from the
start. I'm trying to determine why this is the case.
