View Full Version : Deleting the CREATOR OWNER Full control permission in NTFS


=?Utf-8?B?Tml2?=
I am working on hardening my organization's win 2k advanced servers
Since the hardening attitude in my organization is close everything and then open whatever is needed , I thouhgt of canceling the CREATOR OWNER permission recursively
and open the permissions as follow
Administrators + System - Full contro
Authenticated users - Read + Execute
what was left out is the CREATOR OWNER full control on subfolders and files

ARE THERE ANY COMPLICATIONS I CAN SUFFER FROM WITH SUCH REGOROUS SETTING
thanks in advance
Niv.

I think creator/owner is required to use encryption and
quotas. Surely the creator needs full control of their
objects?!
