Windows 2008 pushing inherited permissions down

We recently had a case where a user moved a folder into another folder expecting that the permissions in the parent folder would automatically roll on down. Of course they did not, when you copy WITHIN a volume it maintains its original perms.

What was really interesting is what happened when we tried to use the ole 'Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permission from this object'. Although the user was copied down, the perms were not. The user DID NOT get the inherited perms on the sub objects.

You have to dig to find the correct checkbox.

• Open up the properties for the parent folder
• Selected "Advanced"
• Select "Change Permissions"
• Make sure "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" is checked.
• Click on the user/group that you want to push the perms down for and select the "Edit" button
• Make sure that the "Apply these permissions to objects and/or containers within this container only IS CHECKED (note it is not checked in my image)
• Click 'OK' till you are done...
