Hi everybody.
I am running into a strange problem on my new file server, there are running Windows Server 2019, and I am not sure what's going on, or how to fix it.
Let me try to explain the problems.
I have set up a new Server 2019 server running File and Storage Services, and DFS at the same time.
DFS is set up so that a namespace is showing folders from two local drives at the same time, and under one share name.
This is working as expected.
Then there are the File and Storage Service.
Here I have set up folder security as shown in the picture.
![]()
This part is also working perfect, and everything seems good.
But now to the problem :-(
At some point, if I am to log on the server, and are deleting a folder or file, somewhere under the folder shown here, whether is a few more steps down a folder, I am losing the AD Group DD or EE of FF, depending what folders it happens in, under Path2.
At the moment, I am having more than 90 different AD Security Groups created to manage everything under Folder A, and almost the same among under Folder B and Folder C.
So when this happens, every single folder permissions, there are not inherited from the Root Folder in Path 1, are gone, and I have to set them all again.
And while I am doing this, nobody can access the folders or files.
Any good idea, to what's wrong, and how to fix it?!
Thanks
