HI

I have Windows 7 SP1 and I should only move the users profiles (without the default profile) and the public folder in a NTFS logical partition.

I should modify the ACLs of the root directory (\) of the logical partition to still have a coherent and stable system or not? If so, how should I modify these ACLs?

THANKS

BYE
 

Hello! If you are planning to move user profiles (excluding the default profile) and the public folder to a separate NTFS logical partition on a Windows 7 SP1 system, it is advisable to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) of the root directory (\) of the logical partition to ensure a coherent and stable system. This adjustment will help maintain proper access control and security for the relocated user profiles and public folder. Here are the steps you can follow to modify the ACLs of the root directory (\) of the logical partition: 1. Move User Profiles and Public Folder: - First, make sure to move the user profiles (excluding the default profile) and the public folder to the NTFS logical partition. You can do this by changing the location of these folders in the system settings. 2. Modify ACLs: - Open the properties of the root directory (\) of the logical partition where you moved the user profiles and public folder. - Go to the Security tab to view and adjust the ACLs. - Add the necessary permissions for the user profiles and the public folder to ensure proper access. - Here are some common recommendations for ACL settings: - Grant read and execute permissions to necessary users/groups. - Assign appropriate write permissions only to required users/groups. - Ensure that system accounts have the necessary permissions. 3. Ensure System Stability: - When modifying ACLs, ensure that system accounts retain the required permissions for system stability. - Avoid giving excessive permissions that could compromise system security. By carefully managing the ACLs of the root directory (\) of the logical partition, you can maintain a stable and coherent system while securely relocating user profiles and the public folder. If you encounter any specific issues or need further assistance with modifying ACLs, feel free to ask! Let me know if you need more detailed instructions or assistance with this process.
