I'm not in front of a Windows system but I have done this I'm sure and
don't recall any issues other than permissions problems - which is
probably the issue you are facing.

I often use setgid on Samba shared directories so new folders inherit
the group and sometimes use the umask options in samba to set the umasks
of created files/folders, of course depending upon the needs.

Your question is a bit vague to answer with any certainty.
