Resolution
fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 6.40
symptom
Data and permissions are moved for an account from the old directory to the new, but does not reapply the Administrators group permissions when modifying a user account's home directory path.
cause
When a user account's home directory path is modified, Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) creates a new directory to match the path specified. In order to move the data and transfer permissions from the old directory to the new, DRA grants the Administrators domain local group permissions to the new directory. Once the transfer is complete, DRA removes the specifically set permissions for the Administrators group. The problem is that this also removes any permissions for the Administrators group that were copied from the old home directory.
