File ownership and NTFS permissions removed from Office documents
Have a good one here. We have some non-domain computers accessing a share on a domain file server. There is a firewall that is allowing 445/SMB for drive mappings via AD authentication. Users are able to create a word or excel document just fine, but when that very same document is opened for editing and then saved, the file (from the users perspective) disappears. But what is really happening is the ownership and ntfs permissions are being removed. I go back in and fix ownership, add an entry in the permissions area and boom, all inherited permissions show up as normal. This is only happening to Office documents, txt files etc are able to be created, opened, edited, and saved with no issues. We've tried mapping the drive as different users, different group memberships, and with full permissions, with the same results. Identical issue as this post https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/microsoft-office-losing-ntfs-permissions-and/e81d342f-9748-4252-9390-957d63adb01f Any thoughts, or ideas are welcome.... thanks!9.4KViews5likes16Comments
