Hi,
I have windows 2003 server as a file server under w2k as a DC. Let say I
have Folder A and Folder B. Folder A has every on has Full Access and Folder
B has every one Read Only access and Group C has Write access. When some user
(member of Group C) Moves files xyz.doc from Folder A to Folder B, every one
gets autometically full access to this file! even though Folder B has Read
Only access to every one. I know if you copy and past then every one has Read
only access. So how do I restrict this? Is there any security settings I'm
missing that prevent do not inherit permissions when we move files from less
to restricted to Full restricted location?

Need help
Thx

Place the two folders on separate partitions.
What you see is how things have been since way back in NT days.

A move within a single partition is defined to take the explicit permissions
along with it to the new location, whereas a copy even within a partition
has the result permissioned in accord with the target location. Upon an
intrapartition move, inherited permissions are supposed to change with
the old inherited permissions being dropped and new ones used that are
in accord with the new location, but this does not happen immediately and
in fact might be deferred for a very long time.
