Permissions Issue

I'm having a very annoying issue with Permissions on a server recently added
to our domain.

We have some software that generates PDF files sent from an old Alpha
system. It creates the files in any of 10 directories depending on the
document type. It runs as a Local System service and has been working fine
until now.

Recently the files it creates have not been inheriting permissions from the
parent folder. They get Administrator and System Full Control only. We have
three groups (1 local, 2 domain) and non of these are given the proper access
to newly created files.

If I manually create a new file in the directory it inherits the permissions
as expected. If I do the replace permissions on all child object from the
parent folder the files all get the appropriate permissions.

It just seems that they don't get them when they are first created.

I've tried so many things, from removing the permissions and re-adding them,
to turning inheritiance off and then on to even deleting the folders, re
creating them and applying the permissions and share access from scratch.
Always with the same result.

Any thoughts and ideas would be much appreciated. My heads hurting from
banging the wall so many times!!

Re: Permissions Issue

Hello nevets2001uk,

On which way are the files created to the folders, via script? Then please
post the script content.

Re: Permissions Issue

We're using a piece of software called StreamServe that recieves the output
files from the Alpha, reformats them, prints them to a physical printer and
creates a PDF copy at the folder location.

I'm not sure how exactly it creates the files though I'm afraid.

Re: Permissions Issue

Hello nevets2001uk,

I would talk to the software vendor maybe they set the permissions automatically.

Re: Permissions Issue

Thanks.

I've got a call out with the vendor at the moment. I do wonder if this could
be linked to joining the domain since before we did that we had no issues at
all and the files always inherited the correct permissions. It then worked OK
for a few days after I messed around with inheritance before stopping again
for seeminly no reason.
