Explicit User versus Group Permission

I have a Windows 2000 domain setup.
I have a folder on one of my member servers that two groups have access to,
"Domain Admins" and "FRX Report Runners" They have full control. A user in
the FRX Report Runners group gets access denied when trying to get to the
folder. If I add the user explicitly to the secuity list, she can access
the folder.

What configuration could I be missing that is not allowing the group
permission to be recognized when that user trys to access the folder?

Thanks,

best bet is to enable auditing for file/object fail/success and place an audit
ace on the file in question. then have the user access the resource, and
look at the entry in the audit log - it'll tell you which access control
request failed.

Filemon can do the same thing as audit (well for finding the error since its
not meant for logging) and is available at:

regmon and filemon are excellent tools for this - esp if you filter the output
(there's LOTS of output)

i spent time educating the WindowsXP appcompat guys to use these two when
troubleshooting apps which won't run unless you're admin.
