GP Access to Apps Install folder

[jonno232]

Hi,

How can I insert a computer account into the NTFS Permissions of a share?? My problem is with the application directory for my group policy software installs. When windows starts I am trying to install a MS Autoroute using GP. The event log reports that the GP can't access the directory. The user has access but I am guessing the the PC account in AD requires an entry in the ACL! I have put the Domain Computers group in the ACL but it doesn't work!

PLEASE HELP!

Any Ideas???

Check the individual files NTFS permissions and see what is listed. I had a similar issue where even though I enabled Domain Computers on the NTFS Permissions it didn't propigate to the child files...you might need to apply the permissions again, and make sure it will effect the child items. Just a thought...

Thanks.

Yeah thats what i thought. I tried that. So I am trying setup the share so I can browse to it before I enable the GP. It keeps saying access denied at folder level. Thats just with the PC Account in the ACL. Its stumped me completely!

The PC should be able to access the files by browsing to it. right??? I think!

Doing my MCSe soon! GLUP!! LOL!

check your share permissions aswell as file permissions - the most restrictive applies

Good call...I always set the share permissions to grant access to everyone and then use NTFS File Permissions to tighten down security. But obviously if the computers aren't able to see the share at all then that would be a problem!

Create a security group and add the computer accounts to it. Then add the group to the share\ntfs premissions as necessary
