Windows 10: Run Checkdisk without messing up the permission?

I have a virtual machine in Hyper-V with Active Directory role installed in it. There is a block level storage attached to the VM through iSCSI. The folders inside the iSCSI volume are shared with different user level permissions assigned to each folders. So, I am facing constant folder corruption in the folders inside the iSCSI disk. Is it common?


Running a checkdisk to fix the error (chkdsk /f) messes up all the permission of corrupted folders, as well as other folders in the iSCSI drive. This brought a panic situation when everyone could see the folders without any permissions. So, is there any way I can troubleshoot this? After the first chkdsk command, the problem reappeared and we are afraid to run the checkdisk again!

Windows 7 - Messed up permissions

Forget it and get Windows 8! *Smile

Messing with permissions is really for advanced users, you can't win the Kernel with a crowbar *Smile

 

No permissions

Hi,

I would suggest you to right click on the user's folder for your profile and check if the permissions shows as "read only'. If this is the case, it might be causing the issue. In this case, I would suggest you to go to C:\User folder, right click on the
folder with your username and follow these steps:

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
  

This does a one-time action that replaces the security on all the files/subfolders. It’s one-time, so you won’t find that box checked if you peek at it later. Try these steps and let us know the results for further assistance.
