    Enabling Inheritances


    I just recently bought a new laptop, and put the hard drive from the old laptop into a USB housing apparatus can't think of the exact name for it, and hooked it to a USB port. I can see most of the files that are on the drive, but a lot of files cannot be seen. So I found on Microsoft's website to "enable inheritances".


    Most of the files that I couldn't see are now seen. While others, permissions were NOT granted. Why? What causes this to happen? Is there something I can do to reclaim these files:?


    Thanks for any advice.

    :)

    Inherit permission from the parent folder in Windows Server 2012R2

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you want the child folder to inherit the permissions from the parent folder. You can try the following steps and check if that helps:

    1. Right click on the folder to which you want to provide permission.
    2. Click on Security tab.
    3. Click on Advanced.
    4. Click on Enable Inheritance and.
    5. Click on Apply and OK.

    If that doesn’t help, as you are using Windows Server 2012R2, I would suggest you to post your query in
    TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who
    are well equipped with the knowledge on Windows Server.

    Hope it helps.

    sharing files over local network some subfolders gives access error

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    In order to get clarity and assist you with appropriate steps, Could you please confirm if there any major change on your system prior to which you did not face this issue?

    This issue usually occurs when the folder is shared, but the inheritance is not enabled. I would suggest you to check by enabling the inheritance for the folder containing the subfolders which you are not able to access and see
    if this issue still persists. Please follow the steps below and check if it works for you.

    Steps to Enable Inheritance:

    1. Right-click on the folder that you are sharing over the Network.
    2. Click on Properties
      at the bottom of the context menu.
    3. Click the Security tab, click
      Advanced, and then click the Permissions tab, select the user and check if the Inheritance is enabled at the bottom left corner of that window. If not, click on
      Enable Inheritance (Note: If the Inheritance is already enabled, you will find a button in the same place that says ‘Disable Inheritance’).
    4. Click Apply and then click
      OK.

    We await your response.

    Enabling Inheritances

    Unable to access files on desktop

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please reply with the details to help you further:

    • Is the computer connected to any organization’s domain network?

    I suggest you to try enabling Inheritance for that particular folder and check if you are able to access the files. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

    1. Open the file location and right click on the folder.
    2. Click on Properties
      at the bottom of the context menu.
    3. Click the Security tab, and click on
      Advanced. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    4. Check if Inheritance is disabled; if it is disabled, please Enable it.
    5. Now, click on Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from the object.
    6. Click Apply and then click
      OK.

    Hope it helps.

    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
