So tuesday morning our setup was as follows:
Active Directory Domain (server 2008 R2 / Roaming Profiles)
Debian 6 SAMBA / WINBIND
we had samba authenticating to active directory to handle all of our file shares including roaming profiles, etc...
the samba server stopped authenticating, and after two days of attempts to resurrect the samba server i gave up and copied all of the files from our shares in the samba server by mounting the Debian volume in UBUNTU, sharing the files via a new samba utility, and copying them to my active directory controller via file transfer utility in windows over the network.
i set everything up perfectly, and roaming profiles seem to work like a charm at this point.
HOWEVER, all of the files shares that our office uses are stuck in read only mode. no one can write, delete, or rename anything in any of our shares.
so i went the usual rout of setting ownership of all out shares to "Everyone"
then set permissions for everyone to full
and changed the sharing settings to everyone full
still no one can save to, delete from, or rename anything in the shares.
so i dug a little deeper and looked at the properties menu of the folders I'm sharing and the read only box is checked and grayed out.
I don't know what else to do, is windows picking up linux file permissions or something?? how do i give my users the proper access??
