My immediate reaction is that the NTFS permissions on the share \\server\profilent$ changed, and new folders are inheriting the new permissions. This could have been caused inadvertantly if someone changed the permissions on the underlying drive andthe changes rippled down.

In the resource kit there are utilities for showing and changing the access control lists (showacl and cacls if I recall correctly). You may want to check existing users and make sure that some of the old user directories did not change as well.

Good luck.

Have you applied any service packs or are any of these workstations Windows2000?

There is a known issue with roaming profile permissions in Win2000 (see TechNet Q222043) and I have this recollection that I've seen something in print about default/inherited permissions in NT as well. I'll see if I can find what I read and will re-post if I find it.

It seems to be that you have workstations with Windows 2000 professional installed, when you create this profile on w2k machine and then it becomes roaming on NT Server when first you logg off...yes the permission for the profile you create set for the user (Owner) it self, for this reason you have to take the ownership and then add the user and relplace the permission on subfolders ans files, so you can abckup the profile, or administrating it, at the same time your user can use it.

Good Luck
