Subject: [gptalk] Confused - folder permissions

 

Hello All...

I'm trying to figure out a folder permissions problem with GP. This is
the situation: I'm not sure if you any of you experienced this last year
or a bit longer ago, but there was an Excel spreadsheet email attachment
going around that had Flash-embedded games in it -> Pac Man, Dig Dug,
etc. Some of our users were playing these games during work...not good
of course. So, we implemented a policy to disable Flash Player on our
domain. I created a GPO (Computer Config -> Windows Settings -> Security
Settings -> File System) that denies access to the Flash folder in
C:\%systemroot%\System32\Macromed\Flash to everyone, EXCEPT a few AD
groups (admins, etc.). I gave these few AD groups FULL access to this
folder, but 1 of my groups isn't showing up as having the necessary
permissions when I check the local PCs folder permissions. I ran GP
Modeling wizard on the affected PC(s) and the GPO did indeed apply, but
in checking the permissions of the Flash folder, this 1 group doesn't
show up. Note that all the groups I have in this GPO are AD groups,
including the 1 that isn't showing up. Why are all of my groups showing
up except this one? It seems the issue is solely on my W2K boxes
(yuk...I know, I know...we hope to finish upgrading these to XP later in
the year; most of our PCs are XP thankfully!). Obviously, I can't run
RSoP because of the W2K PCs.


Thanks in advance for your assistance.
