Domain Admin Shared Folder Rights
I have a Windows 2012R2 Domain and two Domain Admins. Admin_1 will add grant Read/Write access rights to a user to a Shared_Folder on a Windows Server running 2012R2 setup as a file server. Admin_2 will go to the same Shared_Folder and review the rights and the rights will show only Admin_2 has rights to the Shared_Folder?
Has anyone run into this?
Is there are way to resolve this?

- Hello,
Make sure those admins modify NTFS rights and not network share rights. Rely on AD Administrative Center whenever you need to update share, it's quite a good tool for this.
That aside, consider migrating to 2019/2022, as 2012 EOL is in a few months. And avoid using Domain Admins accounts to update a share - that's a security risk.- Alban1998, thank you for the reply. We will look into that and make sure we are assigning NTFS rights as well.
