Symptom:
When editing a document over the network, the file being saved inherits the permissions of the Temporary Items folder.
Steps to Reproduce:
Customers report this can happen to an ExtremeZ-IP volume when:
– Parent directory of an ExtremeZ-IP volume resets permissions on all child objects and enables propagation of inheritable permissions
– Security changes are made to drive letter which is above a ExtremeZ-IP volume
– Permissions are manually changed on the ‘Network Trash’ folder for a given ExtremeZ-IP Volume
– Permissions are manually changed on the ‘Temporary Items’ folder for a given ExtremeZ-IP Volume
Cause:
Certain applications use the ‘Network Trash’ and ‘Temporary Items’ folders when performing a ‘Save’ or ‘Save As’. Permission for these folders are not correctly applied when performing a ‘Save’ or ‘Save As’.
Workaround:
See Fix
Fix:
– Stop the ExtremeZ-IP service from the Services Control Panel
– For each ExtremeZ-IP volume delete the 2 hidden Windows folders:
– Temporary Items
– Network Trash
– Restart ExtremeZ-IP (folders above will be re-created)
