Permissions on redirected folders - Use the scripting force

One of Profile Migrator’s new features in version 2.3 is the new licensing model for service providers and integrators. Coincidentally one of those recently reported an issue with Profile Migrator and redirected folders. During his tests the service provider relocated redirected folders while migrating profiles from Server 2003 to Server 2008. Unfortunately after logging on migrated users received an error message telling them that they had no access to their redirected data. So what happened?

How to Modify Default Share Permissions and Other Tweaks

NTFS permissions are stored in the file system, that is well known. But where are share permissions stored?

As so often with Windows: in the registry. Network shares are defined by only a handful of relatively simple registry entries stored in the server service's key which is, for historical reasons that go back way beyond OS/2, named "LanmanServer" (the workstation service is similarly named "LanmanWorkstation").

The share definitions can be found here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Shares

How to Prevent Users from Changing Permissions on File Servers

On file servers in corporate environments one typically does not want users to change permissions, even on their own files. It might seem that it would be sufficient to simply grant change permissions instead of full control, but unfortunately that is not the case. The problem is that whenever a new file gets created, the user creating the file will be its owner. And owners can always change permissions, regardless of the contents of the DACL.
