Hi guys having a very strange problem, and cant work out why i'm having it. We have a 2003 and XP domain infrastructure. 2003 file server. Recently i have added half a dozen Windows 7 PCs to the domain for testing. For some reason though, when a user logs onto this machine it removes all inherited permissions from the home directory (sitting on a 2003 file server). Home drives are mapped to H: using a VBS script, then in turn, pointed to the My Documents folder. When the same users log into XP, the permissions remain as they should. I have battered my head arround this for days now, and am still unable to determine why this is happening, can anyone shed any light onto why this is happening and how to resolve it. regards
