I've got an odd NTFS permission issue on a new Windows 2008 R2 Fileserver that I'm setting up.
I'm trying to set up permissions on a folder such that anyone can read the foles of the share and all it's subfolders, and anyone can create a folder in the root of the share, which they will then be able to write into. I've created two Domain Local Groups for this purpose, and granted one of them "Read & Execute" permissions for "This folder, subfolders and files", andthe other "Read, write & execute" for "This Folder Only". This root folder itself has an inherited permission granting admin users full control, which is aplying here successfully.
However, any folders which I create under this root folder don't inherit any of the permissions I added. It appears to just have default NTFS Permissions (local administrators, local users, System, Creator Owner). I've tried forcing the inheritence down from the share root, breaking and re-enabling the inheritence from the subfolder (both remove and copy the existing permissions), but nothing seems to work.
Have I missed something obvious here, because I've never come across behaviour like this before?
