A client called having a winnt4.0 server. They have a variety of w/s's, = and used a win2kpro w/s to attempt to set the permissions on the folder on = the server. Now, they are unable to access or do anything with the folder = and all the subdirectories. They can view the permissions, which all say = that everyone has full control, however, they are unable to move the folder elsewhere, gain access via the app, set, or reset permissions on the = folder or any subfolders,or delete it for that matter. It appears the only = thing they can do is disply the contents of and view rights. They tell me they have rebooted, and attempted many times to reset the permissions, add = domain users/domain admins full control, with no success. I have no idea what = to even suggest right now, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
