Hi,

I'm starting to migrate NTFS data from an old emc san to a netapp 3020.  Ive created a volume with ntfs security and created a share with full permissions (everyone).  If I then go to a windows machine and connect to the share to manage security, if I make additions to the security tab (like add my user account with full access), I get a warning stating "Remotely setting permissions on the folder at the root of the share removes all inherited permissions from the root folder and all subfolders.  to set permissions without removing inherited permissions, clikc No and either change the permissions on a child folder or make the change while logged in locally.  Do you want to continue?

I did a little looking and it seems to be the way that microsofts cifs client handles the share at a root level.

My question is... what is the recommended way to manage NTFS security on a netapp filer since there really is no windows "local" box that the share is connected to.

Cheers,

-Derek
