Question:

I have problems to set permissions to a hole NTFS directory tree (700 Homedirs and tons of subdirs). I need RXD (Read, Execute, Delete) on dirs and D (Delete)on files and tried the following script:

	AddExtender("WWWNT34I.DLL")
	wntAccessAdd("\\server", "\\server\share\dir", "Help Desk", 303, "0:9:65536|0:2:1245353")

(The access string was created by wntAccessGet)

After that I have:

RXD on Dirs
RXD on existing Files!!
D on new files

If I set permissions from NT all is working fine

RXD on Dirs
D on all Files!!!

Answer:

Files, when new, inherit the status of the directory they are in. So for new files set the directory to D but not the files.

Change script to:

	AddExtender("WWWNT34I.DLL")
	wntAccessAdd("\\server", "\\server\HomeDir\%USERID%", "Help Desk", 303, "0:9:65536|0:2:65536")
	wntAccessAdd("\\server", "\\server\HomeDir\%USERID%", "Help Desk", 301, "0:9:65536|0:2:1245353")

and it should work fine.
