We just recently migrated to a new File Server, which connects to a SAN pool. We are having some strange issues on the shared drives, that seems to impact one of our network admins only.
We have 5 drives that are setup as shares for our Agency. The NTFS permissions were copied across using Robocopy (we migrated all the data off the old server - 2003 R2 and onto the SAN for an easier cutover). We then copied the shares out of the old server (registry) and imported into the new server.
We have had zero issues with staff access the necessary files. I also have zero issues going in and modifying NTFS permissions on any of the shared drives, as I am a domain admin.
However my colleague when he goes in, gets the error mentioned above. He is able to add himself to give permissions - but I don't know why it is happening.
I have confirmed the following:
1) Domain Admins is a Member of the local Administrator Group on the File Server.
2) The Local Administrator Group has access (Full) to all drives/folders, etc.
3) I have added Domain Admins as well - no change.
4) I have removed/added the local Admin group - no change.
5) When he clicks Yes to modify the permissions, it adds his Domain Admin User account, with full permissions.
I have been reading posts on UAC (which is turned on) - but I don't understand why my Account is fine, but his is being prompted. I have not modified UAC or looked the policies.
