Documents Folder Permissions Weirdness

[Gongalong]

Hi folks,

 

We have an issue where students' documents folders, within their home folders, suddenly loses their inherited permissions. The documents folder will only full/modify (not sure which offhand) permissions to the student. This has happened across an entire year group, so isn't something the students are doing, and they have only have modify permissions ordinarily.

 

Any ideas what's causing this?

 

In some cases staff access student folders to look at what they're doing, but obviously can't when this happens. Plus it's tedious to reset them all, albeit I've written a script that does it based on a spreadsheet of usernames.

 

Thanks

@localzuk sussed it. I'd somehow managed to tick "exclusive rights" in the Settings tab of the GPO doing folder redirection for Documents. Aaaaaagh!
