I am experiencing a persistent issue with permission preservation in the SYSVOL directory on a Samba AD DC (Functional Level 2016). From that AD I replicate data (Sysvol and Idmap) to other Domain Controllers using |rsync|. Every time I modify smth in gpmc.msc from a Windows workstation, the ACLs in the SYSVOL directory become corrupted. Consequently, clients stop applying policies, and |samba-tool ntacl sysvolcheck| starts reporting errors. The only current workaround is to manually run |samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset| after every single GPO change. Once executed, everything returns to normal, and |rsync| successfully replicates the corrected data to the remaining DCs. This is highly frustrating as every group policy operation requires manual shell intervention on the server. *OS:* Debian 12 *File System:* BTRFS (mounted on /) - everything on one partition SAMBA 4.22 *Current smb.conf:* |[global]| |ad dc functional level = 2016 server role = active directory domain controller realm = AAA.LAN workgroup = AAA netbios name = DC01 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes [sysvol] path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol read only = No [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/aaa.lan/scripts read only = No| I would appreciate any suggestions on how to stabilize SYSVOL permissions in this environment. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
