Hi,

I have a windows 2003 server which has a share.

The share called PShare is inheriting permissions from the F drive. The
permissions for 'Everyone' are prograting to PShare.

I am trying to remove this by right clicking on PShare -> Properties ->
Security -> Advanced

and then removing the checkbox

'Allow inheritable permissions from the parent to this object and all child
objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here'

then I get 3 options:

1) Copy
2) Remove
3) Cancel

I have used the copy since I want the other permissions defined for this
folder to remain.

However, at this stage the server just hangs.

Can anybody please help or advise?

Thank you

If it's a big folder, it need to copy it for each file and folder thus
it takes a long time. Mainly user profiles can take long time as they
have thousands of small files. As long as everything else is working
let it be and wait until it finishes.

.....what Juraj said.

However you should know that these are not permissisons on a Share. This is
permissions on a Folder & Files,....known as NTFS Permissions. Share
permisssions are completely separate and have a different purpose.

There is no such thing as inheritence with Share Permissions.
