Cluster File Server Local Groups

D

DMS

I am creating a two node cluster for purposes of file
sharing. MS typical file security is comprised of a
global group being granted access to a local group. If
you have a local group on one node of the cluster you are
unable to fail-over the group to another node and retain
appropriate permissions. Is there a way to sync the local
groups or should I simply eliminate the local group
concept.

Thanks

Do not use Local Groups on the cluster shares, always use global groups. If you search KB at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=fh;EN-US;KBHOWTO using the boolean search method and the following:

"file share" and cluster and permission

you will turn up multiple results. Here is the one you are looking for:
