Homedrive Permissions

[junz]

Hi,

 

I was reviewing permissions for our staff after our file server shutdown suddenly and it seems that each staff member does not have permissions for their own homedrive. Is there a way to set the permissions so staff have permissions for their individual drives?

Is the home folder called the same as their username?

[junz]

yes it is.

 

so if their username is j.holdy that is what thier home folder will also be called.

Save the following into a batch file, and then save the batch file in the same location as the home folders.

 

Change DOMAIN for your actual domain.

 

Then run the batch

 

FOR /D %%G IN ("*") DO echo y| cacls "%%G" /T /E /G "DOMAIN\%%G:F"

Thank you for this,

 

Please could you confirm what exactly the script does.

[snagrat]

Just gives the user full control of the folder with the same name.

use %username% ,

Thank you for this. Would you be able to modify the script to give users modify permission rather than full permissions please.

Thank you for this. Would you be able to modify the script to give users modify permission rather than full permissions please.

 

if I remember right the user/owner requires full control

 

here's the documentation i used when i last rebuilt our stuff.
