Another DFS question (root folder ACL's)

Hey there,

have another issue with DFS / ACL's on the root folder.

We have Global as root, but it's only used to create links under it.

Under Global we have the links
Share
Home
Profile
Software

This is mainly on the Home and Profile shares.

These are located on 6 servers, all on D:\Home and D:\Profile. All
servers share it as Home and Profile. Only one server has the rights on
D:\Home and D:\Profile correct (allow users to traverse/read the
folders, on the other server the ntfs rights only allow administrators in).

The server that has the rights right also started the replication. As it
turns out it thus replicated the rights on the files right, but not on
the folders, and I think this is causing the strange problems on other
locations (which are quited weird).

Sometimes people can load their profiles/home folders, sometimes they
can't. Even weirder, I've seen user w/o a profile upon creation create
the files for the user registry (ntuser.*) and create some folders only
to get an error then that it can't write to the roaming profile. Folders
under application data are empty and folders like favorites weren't even
created.

So according to the NTFS rights on the root folders, they shouldn't be
able to traverse to the actual profile/home directories which would make
them unable to read/write in it at all. Appearantly this only works
partly....

Can anyone clarify this?

TIA & Regards
