W2012 dropbox homework folder

[tenoch]

We upgraded from W2008 Server to new hardware W2012 Server. We moved all the files including a "dropbox" homework folder where out students could drop files and see the files/folders names but they could not modify/copy/delete. Faculty Could modify all files.

 

On our Windows 2012 I can't seem to accomplish this. Our students are part of OU "CStudents" and Faculty "CSFaculty" OU.

 

I searched google and this forum but the information is for W2003/2008 and it does not seem to translate to W2012.

 

Anybody can help me point me to the right direction?

How did you copy folders over to the new box? If you used robocopy with the /MIR switch then it should have also copied the permissions. Alternatively take a look at this blog post I wrote ages ago:VB script for creating student drop boxes - Blogs - EduGeek.net It's a script I setup to automate drop box creation. A little tweaking and you should be able to use it in your environment.

Thank you for reply Duke5A..!!

 

I got the files from backup... next time I will certainly use robocopy. I was finally able to get it to work. The trick for me was to add Advanced deny to the StudentsGroup OU (delete,traverse folder/execute,write attributes). For now it seem to do what we need.

 

I will save the scrip for future use or reference. Thank you for your help!
