Some subfolders on NTFS share randomly disappear and then reappear

Server Fault Asked by Z Holt on December 22, 2021

As the title suggest,
One user has reported that most subfolders of a NTFS share keep disappearing and then reappearing randomly.

The share has 7 folders however 6 of them keep disappearing randomly.
Nothing changes and they just reappear.

The user has NTFS permissions and share permissions
The user is wired to the network
There are no obvious event logs either.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

One Answer

You need to enable auditing on the folders and in the security policies on the computer where the share is hosted to be able to determine when the folders are deleted and what account is deleting them. After that is enabled, you should see 4663 events in the Security event log when they are deleted.
