Can't apply NTFS permissions - Access denied

When I am trying to change NTFS permissions on shared folder I get the error:
An error occurred while applying security information to:
\\fileserver2\etc
Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied.
fileserver2 is Server 2012R2.
Folder "etc" is shared with full control permissions to
everyone.
My user has "Full control" NTFS permissions on that folder.
P.S. If I login to fileserver2 via Remote desktop, I am able to change permissions for that folder, but not when doing same action via share.

Hi Aurimas,
Based on my test , if you want to "everyone" to change NTFS permission of root file share you need to change "everyone" to be the owner of the share folder .

Hello,
I do not want "everyone" to be able to change NTFS permissions, I want those with "Full Control" to be able to change NTFS permissions as currently they can't.

Regedit Permissions -"Access Denied" or "Error while deleting key" EVEN AS ADMIN!

Anyone tried deleting a registry key in Windows 7? Got "access denied" or "Error while deleting key"?
The usual response is, "You need to run regedit as an administrator". but I *AM* logged in as Administrator, and running regedit as administrator, trying to assign administrator full permissions on that registry key in order to delete it!!
Am I mistaken, or isn't Administrator supposed to be able to administer and control all the settings on the computer, in order to set it up for the "Average Joe" user?
So, under the permissions menu of that key, go to advanced, change the owner from System to Administrator, and try again. It's no longer saying "access denied", but "Cannot delete xxxxxx. Error while deleting key".
The scenario: Basically, the wireless has stopped working on a laptop. The device does not show up in Device Manager, but is in the registry, so the normal procedure is to delete the registry entry for the device in HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet (and /ControlSet001) /Enum/PCI ,then attach the device or restart the computer, it finds the "new" hardware and reinstalls it. Easy!...
Not with permission restrictions on the administrator account it's not! So I need to give myself permission, to give myself permission, to do a simple task like delete a single registry key! Why, Microsoft, why???!!! Please just make the Administrator account a hidden "God mode" account that can do anything, and make the lives of us techies much easier in the process!
/RANT
Now, where did I put that XP disc?!....

Hi,
I explain you:
Administrator does not mean "you get all rights to do anything." Administrator happens to be an account (or in your case, most likely the Local Administrators group) which by default is given some sensitive privileges like SeDebugPrivilege and
similar. However, as far as the security subsystem is concerned, it is just an account. (Very much unlike root in
Unix-like operating systems) If you aren't the owner of the key in question, and your account does not have WRITE_DAC access
to the registry key in question, then you won't be able to change the access control list on the key in question.
Try taking ownership first. By default, the local administrators group has SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege,
which allows taking ownership of any object even without the WRITE_OWNER permission
being granted by the object's discretionary access control list. Once you are the owner, you should be implicitly granted READ_CONTROL (which
allows you to read the security descriptor on the object in question), and WRITE_DAC (which
allows you to write to the DACL on the key in question). (Assuming the OWNER_RIGHTS SID
isn't in use; that's extremely unlikely)

Can't receive mail, Relay access denied

Hello all,
I am new to Ma c OS Server, so i apologize if this topic has already been covered before. However, I have spent several hours browsing through different discussions and still couldn't figure out where my problem is.
I have set up a new Mac OS X Snow Leopard server with Mail services enabled. I have went through routine of configuring DNS, Open Directory and adding users. I could eventually run Mail services for the client for the outgoing mail, but I can't receive any incoming mail. Mail logs keep telling me that relay access is denied. Here is the example of this:

All appears to be OK... But I still couldn't make incoming e-mail to work. What do I have wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I dislike split-horizon DNS configurations, and that looks to be what you are trying here.
Based on changeip, your private DNS looks OK, but your public DNS is incorrect.
In particular, you have no reverse DNS for your public IP address 80.244.227.174. Work with your ISP to get that to mail.lifefor.net. This misconfiguration will usually cause issues with outbound mail; many remote servers won't accept mail arriving from this server.
This entry mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.lifefor.net does not include your domain name. You'll want to add $mydomain into the list you'll accept mail for within Server Admin. This is likely the central trigger for the relay error.
Additionally, you will probably want to have your mail server host configured to use the internet host name mail.lifefor.net within the mail setup (or switch your public name to paulmacserver); you're running split-horizon DNS, and you've chosen to use two different host names for this box. It's both mail.lifefor.net and paulmacserver.lifefor.net. It's possible to do that, but it tends to confuse things.
As for errata, you'll want to enable anti-spam and add zen.spamhaus.org or analogous within Server Admin to fix your current accept-from-everywhere setup. With those changes, you'll see smtpd_recipient_restrictions add check_policy_service unix:private/policy and smtpd_client_restrictions will add reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org

Domain Admins and RDP Users can not RDP into Computers (Access Denied)

Dear All,
I got some users with Domain Admins Right and Remote Desktop Users Right. But, they are denied to access Remote Desktop services to other servers. I have confirmed that since set up I have no Remote Desktop Related GPO in Domain. I tried to create but issue
still persists.

YOu need to track down the machines that are denying the authentication and then look thorugh the member server and DC's to find any events within the Security Event log and post those errors. This should define ehat specifically is the reason why
you are being denied.
One thought, not sure how the service accounts were intially created but someone could have gone into the local security policy and DENIED the right to remotely or locally logon. Basically only allow to run as a service right.

Coldfusion ignoring NTFS permissions

I have seen a few older posts that have presented this same issue, but there was no resolution in the thread. I have posted on those threads asking if they found a solution, however thought I would present the issue myself and hopefully someone has a fix/workaround.
CF10, W2008R2, IIS 7.5. Using a group with NTFS permissions and trying to limit the access to the pages. Anyone can view the page if putting in a username and password in the Windows security popup, click ok and immediately prompted again, click cancel and you can see the page contents. Tested with an html page and html page is blocked properly. It is my understanding that IIS passes the control to cf, cf diplays the cfm page.
Since this is IIS 7.5, the checkbox for check if file exists that was working in IIS6 isn't there any longer, it is now items under Handler Mappings. I saw in one thread dscussion about editing a wildcard mapping, but it was vague, and didn't have the settings I need to fix this, or I did not understand based on what I see on our server. I have set the .cfmHandler to "file" , and that did not work. I do not see a wildcard handler in the name column, however there are * in the path column, so it wasn't clear what really is the magic wildcard mapping I am looking for.
I cannot believe this issue has existed since IIS7, and there is no clear guidance on the topic. Someone has to have figured it out... bypassing NTFS permissions and not being able to restrict access to a group is not a small issue, in my opinion anyway. I have searched all over the place, hopefully someone here knows what the magic answer is...
Thanks!
Tanya

Tanya,
This may not be what you want to hear, but I don't think you can get CF to play by NTFS rules with IIS 7+. Since IIS hands off processing to .cfm/.cfc files to ColdFusion, it can't enforce NTFS permissions. I think CF developers typically rely on a security system within their ColdFusion application to determine who can access which .cfm files or folders. So programatically you check the credentials of the user and determine if they are supposed to be able to access a particular .cfm file, and redirect them if they are not. Some use the <cflogin> features of ColdFusion; others roll their own.
I could be completely off about this, though. Do you use Application.cfc in your apps, or Application.cfm? That may have a bearing as well.

Robocopy not copying NTFS permissions

Hi All, got a 2008 64bit server, copying a 100 GB folder from one disk to another on the same server. And randomly robocopy does not apply NTFS permissions to folders at root level. It leaves them to default.
This is the command I am using:
robocopy "F:\Project1" "H:\Project1" /E /Copy:DATSOU /IS /IT /log:c:\Project.txt /TEE
What could be the issue ?

Hello,
If we want to robocopy the whole d:\project1 and all the subfolders to H:\project1 while preserving its NTFS security permission, we can use following command syntax with robocopy.
Example:
=============
Robocopy "F:\Project1" "H:\Project1" /E /SEC
/e: Copies subdirectories includes any empty directories.
/sec: Copies files with security.
For more reference, please refer to:
Robocopy

How to apply security to access procurement dashboard in RPD (BI Security)

Hi All,
How can I apply Security to access in RPD for Procurement dashboards only.
Regards,
Kumar
Edited by: user597882 on Sep 13, 2009 2:20 AM

Hi,
If you want to apply security to a dashboard (object level security so that some people can see the dashboard and other can't), then you don't do this in the RPD but through the administration screens after logging into OBIEE. Here you can defined which webgroups can see a dashboard.

Clients can't save to the server, access denied no permissions, how to give permission?

I set up my school lab with an xserv 10.6.8. Everything was fine in terms of the users logging in to their respective groups. However, they weren't able to save anything to the server , they had access denied errors or you don't have permissions, even the keychain app was giving the users an error that said it couldn't save to reset to default values. Anyhow, I tried using the Server Admin application to propagate permissions, selected the hard drives and propagated permissions by clicking all the selections in the dialog. Now, the server wont start and only shows the grey Apple and the spinning gear, please help, I am so frustrated, I was so close to have this server running. All I want is to be able to have the students in my school log in to the server from the computer lab and save their work on the server. Simple service, I have running AFP, OD, DNS and SMB. I don't knowe if SMB is neccesary either.

Yes, I created the users using WGM home tab and then clicking on the create home now and then save. No, I didn't use terminal with the command, maybe that's one of the things I needed to do so that the problems with permissions wouldn't show. I used the secondary HD to create the sharepoint folder "Users" and that's the folder I used when creating the home directory for that specific part of the setup. My setup is pretty simple, I just want a Groups folder(sharepoint) where I can store the diffrent grades or classes that come to my lab and I have a "Users" folder(sharepoint) where the kids can use to login and save their work. Later, I may add another folder to place videos so that the folder can mount when they log in and all they have to do is go to the folder and double click on the video. Can you ellaborate more on how to use the command with terminal? Would the "a" be the name of the sharepoint? I created the folders using Server Admin, I believe that clicking on the sharepoint button, there is another button that says "new", would that be the correct way to do it? When I get back to school tomorrw I will post more specifics on the way that I setup the server and maybe it will give you a better picture of how I did it.
I really appreciate your assistance, I am trying to use the limited knowledge I have to setup this lab which will enable me to do a lot of things with the kids and make their lives easier, so they don't have to bring flash drives to save their work. Thanks again for your time!

Can't rename a single file to autorun.inf even all ntfs permissions are correct

I have this odd problem:
Logged in as Domin Administrator I couldn't rename or open for editing an existing file "autorun.inf" even though all the ntfs permissions were correct. Every other files in the same directory (mainly .swf, .docx, .js and .htm files)
are both editable and can be renamed.
When I deleted the file "autorun.inf" from the folder and tried to create a new one with the same name, OS (Windows Server 2008 R2) notifies me that I "need permission to perform this action". Furthermore OS notifies me that "You
require special permission from Administrators to make changes to this file". Neither can I copy a file named "autorun.inf" from another location to this folder. This is in spite of being logged in as Domain Admin.
In short: I can't create a file called autorun.inf in a folder!
Could there be some kind of extra locking concerning files named autorun.inf i.e. some protective mechanism in this particular folder's permissions or SRV2008R2 itself that I've missed. All the other folders allow me to create whatever files i like
into them.
I would very much appreciate if anybody can help me with this.

Yes, by default that will block any access to autorun.ini files. We use the same, so the issue sounded familiar, and of that I asked specificly to that :)

NTFS permissions - Only access to folders created by the user himself

Hi,
I once came by an TechNet article explaining how to set up the NTFS permission on a shared folder, so the users would have rights to create a subfolder, and then only have access to this folder, and none of the co-existing folders on the same level, created
by similiar users.
So in details, I have shared a folder called backup$, where the users needs access to create their own subfolder (will be done automatically by a script). And in case they would need to browse their way to the full path, I need to make sure, they won't be
able to access folders created by other users.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
I am not clear what are the rights you will set through the script for each sub-folder. You can verify, your settings using
Effective Permission tool.

Access denied for folder when permissions set with WMI

Hi,
When I add/modify access rights based on the Win32_ACE class, there seems to be a difference in the result, then when setting it with the GUI in Windows.
The situation is as follow:
I want to set Modify access on a remote folder, but also want to avoid deletion of the folder itself. This can easily be done by setting "deny delete on this folder only" in addition to "allow modify to this folder, files and subfolders".
So far no issue.
Now I notice that, although the GUI shows exactly the same result in advanced settings of the security property, the folder set with WMI script gives a deny when opening it with the user account. The same folder, set with the same security and result in
the advanced tab, but set in the GUI, works fine.
Note: The reason that I use WMI is because the remote system is a standalone machine, not sharing the same domain or trust.
I compared the ACEFlags, AceType and AccessMask for both the GUI set and script set permissions, and they are exactly the same.
GUI => AccessMask:1179817 AceType:0 iAceFlags:3
Script => AccessMask:1179817 AceType:0 iAceFlags:3
What a strange world we live in... :-)
Any idea?

What Operating System Interface are you referring? What program?
You are being obtuse. What is it that you are trying to compare. THe settings in WMI cannot be directly compared to anything in the Security Wizard.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just the properties of the folder in Windows on the security tab. The result is the same for both the permissions set with the interface as well as the one set with the WMI script. The two references you see are just taken with WMI:
Set by Windows interface => AccessMask:1179817 AceType:0 iAceFlags:3
Set by WMI script => AccessMask:1179817 AceType:0 iAceFlags:3
This are the values "AceFlags", "AceType" and "AccessMask" from management class WIN32_ACE:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394063(v=vs.85).aspx
I just want to show that the actual ACE object returns the same values for both methods, but the effect appear to be that the script set permission are denied. And I am looking for the reason why.
Can you provide the script that you're using to create the ACE(s) and add them? If I'm understanding what you're trying to do, there should be two ACEs created: one to allow the modify access and one to deny the folder deletion. The ACE you're showing is just
an allow ACE (AceType 0).
That is correct there are (or should be) two ACEs. I cannot get hold on my source right now (will be later today), but my code is based on this source:
http://www.minasi.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7501
What I basically do is getting the DACL properties, loop through it to check that the user exists that I want to update. If it does I check that the current AceType is of the same type (allow or deny) that I am updating/adding. If that type is a match, I
replace the ACE object with the new Flag, Type and Mask using a Win32_ACE object. If type type doesn't match, then I add both the current ACE with the new ACE at the same time. I noticed that if I don't do it at the same time, only the last remains. If the
user doesn't match I check that the AceFlags is not equal to 16 (inherit) and then add the original ACE object in the ACE array. At the end I add the new ACE if the user was not found at all (new). The array of individual ACE objects is added to List of managementobjects
and then again linked to the DACL value.

New-MsolUser : Access Denied. You do not have permissions to call this cmdlet.

Can anyone suggest what could be the problem?

Hi Shankar,
The error "New-MsolUser : Access Denied. You do not have permissions to call this cmdlet" when trying to use the cmdlet indicates you might have to check if you have the appropriate admin role.
You could refer the following link for details on various types of Admin Roles in Windows Azure Active Directory.
