Windows 2008 cluster file share permissions
The key issue to note is that file and folder permissions provide a far greater level of control over access than the more general permissions options provided by share permissions. In this section, share permissions will be covered. For details on file and folder permissions refer to the chapter entitled Understanding Windows Server File and Folder Ownership and Permissions.
Share permissions are granted on a per user and per group basis. In addition to allowing a cap on the number of concurrent users accessing a share to be defined, share permissions also provide three permission options, each of which can be set to Allow or Deny :.
Permissions are cumulative in that a user will inherit the permissions of all the groups of which he or she is a member. If a permission is Denied , however, it overrides any cases where that permission may have been granted. For example, if a user is a member of a group where full control is provided over a folder, and also a member of a second group where full control is specifically denied, the user will be denied full control regardless of the fact that it was granted in the first group.
To configure share permissions, start Computer Management, connect to a remote server if not working on local shares, unfold System Tools and select Shares to list all currently shared folders.
To configure share permissions for a folder, select it from the list, right click and select Properties. In the properties dialog select the Share Permissions tab as illustrated in the following figure:. This screen displays the current share permissions and provides the ability to configure additional permission controls. To change the settings for a currently configured group or user select the user from the list, modify the permissions accordingly and click on Apply to commit the changes.
To add permissions for a specific user or group click the Add button and enter one or more users or groups into the text box separating multiple entries with a semi-colon and click on Check Names to verify the names are correct. Click on OK to return to the properties dialog where the added users and groups will appear in the list.
Once again, select each name in turn and configure the desired share permissions. Finally, click Apply to commit the new permissions. Jump to: navigation , search. Navigation menu Personal tools.

High Availability Clustering. Sign in to vote. Thanks, J. Friday, June 10, AM. It will take probably some time and digging around to have working solution.. If you have purchased software that controls the format or function of the disk, follow instructions from the vendor about how to use that software with Windows Server.
On one of the servers that you want to cluster, click Start, click Administrative Tools, click Computer Management, and then click Disk Management. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue. In Disk Management, confirm that the cluster disks are visible.
If you want to have a storage volume larger than 2 terabytes, and you are using the Windows interface to control the format of the disk, convert that disk to the partition style called GUID partition table GPT. To do this, back up any data on the disk, delete all volumes on the disk and then, in Disk Management, right-click the disk not a partition and click Convert to GPT Disk. For volumes smaller than 2 terabytes, instead of using GPT, you can use the partition style called master boot record MBR.
Check the format of any exposed volume or LUN. In this step, the file server role and failover cluster feature will be installed. Both servers must be running either Windows Server or Windows Server For the Installation Type , select Role-based or feature-based installation and Next.
Ensure Select a server from the server pool is selected, the name of the machine is highlighted, and Next. For the Features, from the list of features, select Failover Clustering. A popup dialog will show that lists the administration tools also being installed. Keep all the selected, choose Add Features and Next. Before creating a cluster, we strongly recommend that you validate your configuration. Validation helps you confirm that the configuration of your servers, network, and storage meets a set of specific requirements for failover clusters.
In the Select Servers or a Cluster window, add in the names of the two machines that will be the nodes of the cluster. You can also choose the Browse button to search Active Directory for the names. Once both are listed under Selected Servers , choose Next. In the Testing Options window, select Run all tests recommended , and Next. On the Confirmation page, it will give you the listing of all the tests it will check.
Choose Next and the tests will begin. Once completed, the Summary page appears after the tests run. To view Help topics that will help you interpret the results, click More about cluster validation tests. While still on the Summary page, click View Report and read the test results. Make any necessary changes in the configuration and rerun the tests. To view Help topics about cluster validation after you close the wizard, in Failover Cluster Management, click Help, click Help Topics, click the Contents tab, expand the contents for the failover cluster Help, and click Validating a Failover Cluster Configuration.
For more info, see Validating a Failover Cluster Configuration. In the Select Servers window, add in the names of the two machines that will be the nodes of the cluster. In the Access Point for Administering the Cluster window, input the name of the cluster you will be using. Please note that this is not the name you will be using to connect to your file shares with.
This is for simply administrating the cluster. If you are using static IP Addresses, you will need to select the network to use and input the IP Address it will use for the cluster name.
On the Confirmation page, verify what you have configured and select Next to create the Cluster. On the Summary page, it will give you the configuration it has created.

Note The information in this article is also valid for the Windows Cluster service. Note Do not share the folder in Windows Explorer as you normally would for a file share.
Note This is the name that will be displayed in Cluster Administrator and is only used for administrative purposes. Note Possible Owners defines whether a resource is ever able to failover to a specific node. Note The User Limit dialog can be used to limit the number of simultaneous users.
Click the Permissions button to set share level permissions. Only domain level groups should be used in defining share level permissions because local groups and user accounts do not reside on the other node, and the permissions will not take effect when the file share is failed over. The only exception to this is if all nodes in the cluster are domain controllers.
