Administrators cannot save a file to a folder

[BillyTheMexican]

I have a Windows 2012 server that only has two drives, a C:\ drive where the OS is installed, and an E:\ drive where the data is kept.

 

To tighten up security I have added two domain user accounts to the "Administrators" security group on the server, the idea is that they will be able to log on to the server with their domain account so I do not need to create a local admin account for them.

 

Both the domain users can log on with no problem but they need to copy a file to a folder on the E:\ drive but they always get an error message saying they do not have permissions to do this.

 

Both the accounts are in the administrators group so should be able to do this.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Take ownership of the folder as an admin.

Properties > Security > Advanced > Check who is the owner and replace with admin

Ensure you also replace the child object permissions.

And then set permissions for the local admins group and propagate the setting for sub folders & files if you want.
