Trying to create a indvidual folder in a share aka a mydocs2

[chazzy2501]

I have a new NAS that is AD aware. I'm trying to get GPOP to create a folder within a share for the individual user.

 

I've given the test users group, traverse & list permissions. I've manually created a folder with read write permissions for just the testpupil1 and that worked a treat.

 

Now I need GPO to create a folder with the individual read write permissions for just that user automatically.

 

When GPO Preferences creates a folder what user is it using? The logged in user, or some system account? is this even the right approach? cheers.

 

as my first test failed, access denied using the gpop create folder, I didn't use the users security context.

You may be able to do this with a combination of Powershell (to create the folders, using a CSV of the folder names) then using NTFSFix to modify the permissions. I say may - the NAS would need to be presenting the share as an NTFS volume for this to work I think. No idea how to do so with a non-Windows share which doesn't use the same permissions system.

Can you not create the folder and assign the NTFS permissions using PowerShell and a CSV file? I had to setup 55 student folders with specific permissions and was able to use PowerShell to achieve this.
