Rights to delete files - unix user root windows 7

I have a lot of trouble to delete files from my NAS. The files are tagged with "unix user root". I tried a lot of suggestions: take ownership, activate super user administrator,etc. The problem is that I cann't take over the ownership. Anyone
a suggestion?

Hi,
I would start by asking this question in the forums of your NAS manufacturer.

SMB Users can't move or delete files, Mac users can

Hi all,
I'm using Leopard Server with a share point set up with the following details:
LDAP directory is where the users and groups are stored.
There is a group called 'techie' which has several users assigned to it.
Share point called 'Software' is set up with ACL for 'techie' to have Full Control.
AFP protocol settings are 'inherit permissions from parent'.
SMB protocol settings are 'Enable oplocks' and 'inherit from parent'.
I have propagated permissions down to all folders.
The user can log in from a Mac with Leopard installed, as his own username which belongs to the 'techie' group and he can move files on this share, he can delete then, rename them, whatever he wants (connection is by AFP).
When connecting using SMB from Windows XP or Vista, using the same username which is part of 'techie', he cannot do this. He gets permission errors etc.
Anyone have any idea why, or what might cause this? Is it a setting or a bug?
Regards,
David.

I'm having a semilar issue:
I can login in from Windows XP SP2 but I can't delete files.
I can write to the directory and read files but I cannot delete them.
Thanks.

How to remove Userscripts from Greasemonkey without enabling Greasemonkey? (I have deleted files from user/gm_scripts/ didn't help)

I installed an addon named Chat Resizer, which is for Kongregate, restarted to finish the install and firefox would not open.
Clicked it and clicked it nothing, Opened Task Manager, Ended the firefoxes and tried to open it again but nothing again.
Started FF in safe mode, cannot remove chat resizer with greasemonkey disabled, trying to enable it to remove it firefox refuses to start.
Uninstalled greasemonkey, FF works as normal, install it and it freezes once more.
Removed files from user/appdata/roaming/mozilla/profile blah blah/gm_scripts which had files for all of my scripts in them,
Firefox still won't start, uninstall greasemonkey, works again, install, doesnt work even with files for the scripts gone.
Any more suggestions?

How can I delete files that users saves in their computers after they logoff with GPO?

hi, I have a domain where I would like to delete all the files that a users saves when they are in their session after the users logs off, the only files that would be saved are the ones they save in the space they have in the file server, can I do this
with a Group Policy, or is there any other way I can achieve this? Thank You

Hi,
Allowing the users to save the files and later deleting will result in confusion and loss of critical data. Instead you can prohibit the users from saving the files in specific location using GPO.
Checkout the below thread on related requirement and suggesstions,

Deleted files in iTunes with Windows XP OS

For the past 3 or 4 months, I am steadily losing files I have uploaded into iTunes. Where are they going and how do I get them back? Some of them are expensive and purchased from different sources. All are downloaded to my hard drive and then transferred to iTunes. Some are movies I have made of family events. I am clueless as to why they are disappearing and fear I will have to purchase again which is going to be expensive. Most of them are still on my ipod touch but a few of those are deleted also! How does this happen? I am perplexed.

Firstly, playing Flac in iTunes is an altogether different animal than playing them on your iOS device and is something you never asked about. For that you'll need to Google "Fluke FLAC" if you're still running Lion or older. If you're running a newer Mac OS I haven't yet heard of a solution for playing FLAC in iTunes and you'll have to resort to a third party app like Vox.
For most FLAC playing iOS apps you'll add your music files via the "file sharing" section at the bottom of your Apps tab in iTunes when your iPod touch is plugged in.
As for Flac Player specifically the high price coupled with some reported problems I heard when looking into it had me steering clear so I can't offer first hand reports on THAT program.
Since it sounds like you've been longing to play FLAC on your iPod touch for quite some time I was simply offering a bevvy of options to do just that I know of, including some free ones.
Hopefully someone will stumble across this thread and chime in with feedback about THAT app specifically for you.

Opening Excel file in User browser window

Hi,
My application generates Excel file from the rowset and stores on the server automatically when the user clicks a button, but I want the Excel file to be downloadable by the user either by opening the Excel file in the browser or by prompting the user to save the Excel file on the users PC.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Error Code - 43 - won't let me delete files

Anyone any ideas on how to get Leopard to let me delete some trash files please?
I have copied the contents of a graphics CD to a folder on my desktop.
Each subdirectory contains the PDF files I want and five autorun.* files for PCs.
I don't want to keep the 1,000 odd autorun.* files so I created an Automator action to find all the autorun files and move them to Trash - it fails.
So if I try to Move the files to Trash using Finder it asks for my Admin login and then reports:-
The operation cannot be completed because one or more of the required items cannot be found (Error code 43)
I am only selecting one file to Move to Trash.
I have searched for any insight into Error Code 43 without success.
Any ideas on how I can delete my files would be appreciated
Oh File info tells me they are Read Only but gives me no option to change it.
As the computer administrator shouldn't I have rights to delete files in my own Home directory?
Thanks
Mike

OK managed to fix this by
Open Terminal
sudo bash
<enter password>
cd <folder with problem files>
chmod -R 7777 .
This will then fix the files copied from the CD so you can work with them on the Mac.
I am sure there is a better way because this problem has been around for years and I cannot believe this is the best way, but it go me going again.

MARS - NFS on Unix Services for Windows and deleting files

Hello !
I've prepared NFS server on W2k3 server with Unix Services for Windows installed. It works OK, the only problem is moveing/deleting files and folders. It seems like a problem with permissions for anonymous user. Does anybody have similar experience ?

If you receive the following error message "Error ./pnarchiver Thread 2051:PN-0102:SQL error: ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied" then there is a Problem with archiving to NFS server. The directories for the archiving are properly created on the server but those directories remain empty. The workaround is that an inter operability issue exists between MARS and CygWin NFS server running on Windows 2003 server. To work around such inter operability issues, replace the NFS server with Microsoft Windows Services for Unix.

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

Hello,
We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
file.
I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

Hello Bria,
What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items:
User
Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Prevent access to specified drives in My
Computer
There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

Should I (and can I) delete Program Files (x86) folder in Windows 7?

I installed Windows 7 32 bit over a Windows Vista 64 bit computer. I had to reinstall all applications (Office, etc.) and they were installed in the new folder 'Program files'. Can I just delete the old 'Program Files (X86)' folder? Should I do that? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is impossible to upgrade a 64-bit operating system to a 32-bit operating system, no matter it is an OEM disk or not.
Windows 7 32-bit does not include the “Program Files (x86)” folder. Only the 64-bit operating systems have it. In this case, the 64-bie operating system is Windows Vista 64-bit.
In addition, if you performed a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on the old system (Windows Vista 64-bit) partition, the old system files should be saved in C:\Windows.old folder.
So, Folk70, did you perform a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on another hard disk drive? After logging into Windows 7 32-bit, then you found the “Program Files (x86)” folder in the Windows Vista 64-bit system partition?
If not, would you please upload the following information to SkyDrive and provide us the link for analyzing?

Cannot delete file - tried everything - file in use by Windows Explorer error

Hi - I have tried now for 2-3 hours trying to delete an .mkv file from my "Downloads" folder
It says the file is in use by Windows Explorer and cannot be deleted
I have tried deleting it using Del command prompt as me and as Administrator (I am the Admnistrator, there are no other users) - no luck
I have tried Safe Boot and then deleting - no luck
I have tried rebooting many times and then deleting - no luck
Any ideas? It's driving me nuts

hi to all who have this bug- "file in use by Windows Explorer error"
this is the only way that it works:
1.type cmd in search box
2.go to the drive and the directory the file is in ,for example:
after you type cmd you have a black screen with c:\user\
type in the drive the file is in and hit enter example - d: than hit enter
than you should see d:\>
now click the directory the problem file is in ,for example i will call the directory "movies" type in this- cd movies
now you will see this d:\movies>
to delete the file type this: del filename.mkv (dont forget the .mkv or any other file extension) don't hit enter yet, first open task manager (cntrl+shift+esc) go to process tab than right click on explorer.exe choose and click on end process
now your desktop should disappear. get back to the "cmd" window and hit enter.
now the file is deleted. now go back to the task manager and click on "file" on the upper left corner then on new task then type in "explorer.exe"
and you are done
please note that the file name you choose to delete cant be with spaces between the letters .if so you will need to change it in the same way in the cmd window only the comand will be instead of "del filename.mkv"(for example) after you are in the
right drive and directory:
rename "test space.mkv" testspace.mkv
hope i helped
this is the only way it workes
Instead of running a CMD prompt and typing everything, just start up Winrar or Winzip, kill Explorer, then delete problem MKV files to your hearts content within Winrar or Winzip.
Winrar and Winzip will navigate your folders as well.
After you are done, create a new Explorer task.
or..... if you need to rename MKV files, just rename them within Winrar/Winzip with Explorer not running.
I change the MKV extension to AVI (in Winrar with Explorer killed) in order to avoid Explorer issues, if I ever want to move the files in the future without needing to kill Explorer all the time to do so .
Using WinRAR works for me. Using the cmd function becomes complicated when I cannot rename my file with the rename command".

How do i know who deleted file/folder in Windows 7 ?

Someone deleted files from Windows 7,i do not know it is remote or local.
I want to know how was deleted ?
And can i know what anybody doing (delete,add anything and etc.) on Windows 7 ?

You need to enable auditing from either local policies or domain policies and apply it to the machine . you need to configure auditing on everything, you want to audit. Please following the given steps:
1.Configure audit object access in AD Group Policy or on the server's local GPO.
Computer Configuration --> Windows Settings --> Security Settings --> Local Policies --> Audit Policy --> Audit object Access
Once that is in place, go to the folder you want to monitor, right click and go to properties
2. Configure an audit entry on the specific folder's that you want to audit. Right-click on the folder-->Properties-->Advanced. From the Auditing tab, click Add and then enter the users/groups whom you want to audit and what actions you want to audit
- auditing Full Control will create an audit entry every time anyone opens/changes/closes or deletes a file, or you can just audit for delete operations. You are now auditing that folder. You will need to monitor the event logs for the particular events.
An alternate option available is here. You can try this utility (
http://www.fileserverauditing.com) to find out who deleted specific files or folder.

File(windows)---- xi ---- file(unix)

Hi All,
Our scenario is FILE(windows)-> XI -> FILE(unix).
Our System is configured on J2SE and we have configured a local adapter engine for this.
We have 3 folders at Source End say Source, OK and NOT OK.
Our requirment is to move file to OK if the file transfer is sucess else the file should move to NOT OK.
File Transfer may be failed due to System crash, receiver down etc.
We are trying on BPM but we are not sure about the Filename which is must and should be same at both the ends i.e. Source and Target.
( We have tried FTP XI FTP, with delete and archive mode. In delete mode even though the receiver is down file is getting deleted at Source End and in MONI we can see a sucess message, Archive is not working properly giving Exception "com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Operation not complete" in our Company Server may be a Support pack issue).
We are looking for Ideas to implement this scenario.
Thanks,
Nagraju

This seems to be pretty good scenario...
You are 100% right that simple usage of delete and archive modes shall not meet your criteria.
I cannot give you a solution but an idea in which angle you can think on...
You must handle file acknowledgements and develop a module accordingly and use it to do so.
I shall also try to work on this and let you know if any.
Thanks

OES linux "rights" command, [Public] user and Windows woes

Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out a solution for this, and although I thought I figured it out, it ends up I can't seem to figure it out. Hear me out.
We run an automated ZCM imaging system, and part of that is the ability to have any user authenticate on successful image using the Novell client. Once this is done, the first login should start installing a series of bundles/applications.
As MS Office 2010 is a rather large install, I keep the files/folders stored on a NSS volume, aptly named:
//oesserver/media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS Office 2010 SP2 - Admin Install
I would like ALL users to have access to this directory but since we run on a weird container layout, and our licensing permits for a rather large number of installs, I wanted to give the [Public] user read+filescan rights to each server's /media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS Office 2010 SP2/ directory, so regardless of where you are mapping with any user, that user would then have access to said folder.
If I use either the iManager plugin or directly using the Novell client method of applying [Public] as a trustee, it works, and the client can see the folder.
I have over 30 servers that each have the identical path, so in my sleuthing I found the OES command to perform: rights
So I performed the following command:
rights -f "/media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS Office 2010 SP2 - Admin Install" -r rf trustee [Public]
If I then show the results, there are successful:
rights show
The problem, however, is that within Windows, from any login, when I right-click the folder and check the trustees, I do not see that user in the list, and in return, that user has no access to the directory.
If I then run my command to remove the rights from the OES server:
rights -f /media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS\ Office\ 2010\ SP2\ -\ Admin\ Install/ -r none delete [Public]
And then run a "rights show" again, the Public user is removed correctly.
What I can't seem to figure out is why the command will allow me to set trustee rights to [Public], that "rights show" will validate that the rights are currently assigned, but from a Windows perspective I have no access to that directory.
I have done a "rights show" on the drive when assigning the rights from the Novell client and/or iManager, and there is NO difference in how "rights show" see the [Public] user listed.
Has anyone else ever seen this?
If I specify a user in my tree, it works correctly on both ends.
rights -f "/media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS Office 2010 SP2 - Admin Install" -r rf trustee username.ou.o.tree_name
rights show will then show me the appropriate trustee, and the user can see the path in Windows.
This restriction seems limited to the [Public] user, but I have no idea how to do this properly.
I'd like to avoid doing it by hand, because I want the ability to script all my changes and remotely and efficiently.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Are you thinking of TID 7014932? That's an issue with OES11 SP2 which is
fixed by installing the April 2014 OES11SP2 Hot Patch for NCL.
