From: "Manuel Fernandes" <manuelf () hotmail com>Full access at share level and permissions at the OS level would be the best recommended method to control security. However, if you have a few terabytesof data (on a SAN or NAS) then you should consider creating a local groupand apply permissions to the folder. Then on the local group add the desiredgroups/users from the domain. This will help if you decide to add removepeople or groups from the domain and avoid having to re-apply permissions toall files, subdirectories, etc which can take you hours!
Hey, thanks for the good description, a little lightbulb went on over my head after I read that last sentence, I always wondered why some people did their permissions that way, it seemed overly complicated. I've always added the domain groups directly, now I think I see the point of doing it the other way. (although my network is small enough that there isn't any point since it won't make any speed difference)
