I'm a win2k administrator and I'm having a problem with
the C:\temp folder. It doesn't retain any additional
permissions I give it. For example, it gives the two
groups <local machine>/admins and <local machine>/users
rights to it, but when I go in and give everyone access,
the extra permissions only last as long as the machine
does not reboot. After a reboot all changes are lost.
Any idea on how I can stop this from happening? Thanks.
 
I can only think that you're in a domain environment and there is a group
policy on the domain that's setting it. Does this sound possible?

Thanks for replying! I absolutely think that it's being
set in the group policy, but I can't figure out where to
change it. I've looked through the knowledge book, but it
hasn't been any help.
 
Maybe a startup script using cacls or xacls? Or maybe that could be a
ix? --- Steve
 
As Steven says, a startup script running cacls could do it.

Also, look for group policies that affect file permissions. Make use of
gpresult command (resource kit) tool in verbose or super-verbose mode to see
if you can track it down.

Also, if a security template is being applied with group policy, that could
be doing it. I haven't seen many people do that, though, so check the other
alternatives first.

Hope this helps

Oli
