Re: Windows Fileserver Pemissions

It is pretty easy to check whether or not the folders in question are inheriting permissions from the parent.  Just 
open the Properties on the folder, then under the Security tab, click Advanced.

There will be an option "Allow inheritable permissions from the parent..."

You can deselect that, and then either Copy the current permissions (suggested) and modify them, or Remove the 
permissions entirely and define them from scratch.

The generally accepted best practice for securing file resources accessed over the network in a domain environment is 
to give "Everyone" Full access to the Share, and then limit the NTFS rights to the specific groups.  Windows will 
combine share and NTFS permissions and apply the most restrictive of the two.

Are the data folders on the same drive as the operating system files?  If so, you need to move them to their own drive. 
 Otherwise you run the risk of the disk filling up and the server going down.
