Centos – Default Home Folder Permissions on CentOS 5

Why? Your permissions seem odd too. Assuming you haven't changed the default server behavior for "bypass traverse checking" then all you need is:

\fileserver\homes

• Domain Admins = Full

• G_Admins = Full

When you create a user in ADUC and assign their home drive:

\fileserver\homes\%username%

it should set those permissions as:

• Domain Admins = Full
• G_Admins = Full
• %username% = Full (whatever the user's login ID is)

If you want authenticated users to have read access to everyone's home folder then add them to the \fileserver\homes folder with Read access.

But maybe there's a reason for your setup...just showing you how I would do it.

I bet the file permissions could be retained if you used something like RSYNC or something similar that has file-permissions features during a copy...
