All Files Read Only

[MrFrostmaul]

Hello,

We have been having some issues and the latest one so far is that all users when opening any Office file (word etc.) it is showing as read only and telling them they have to save before. On the file from the server, the user has full write/read access and the Attributes for that file is not read only.

 

Anyone know how to resolve this? - I have tried at the users root folder, but no joy

 

There is also another problem which I think it related. Users can read their files now, but cannot edit and when going to save it says "Access Denied" or "You dont have permission" even though they do. I have tried re-updating the permissions for that user to their area, but no joy again. The share and folder permissions are the same and say they have full control over their Home Folder area, but really they don't.

 

Been a long day and starting to hate Windows File Storage.

 

Any help with this?

 

Thanks

Who is the owner of the files?

The user is the Owner of their Files/Folders within their area. Who also has Full Control of that file/folder

Anyone come across this before? It is affecting the entire local storage we have (shared areas, user areas etc). Only good thing is that it's not affecting me (prob as I am part of domain admins group)

Is this affecting one server or all servers? I take it you have checked there is nothing being inherited causing the issue?

Have you disabled inheritance on one directory to see if you can then change read-only?

What happens if you move a file to another location ?(usb drive or unaffected server)

Client OS?

Office version?

Server OS version?

Worth pointing out a deny takes precedence over an allow as well

What permissions do you have on the main share for that folder they access?
