Gary,
How are you mapping the network drives and how is "logon.cmd" - or whatever
your logon script is called - being delivered to your clients? Meaning,
let's see an example of the logon script and tell us the delivery method (
part of the user's profile, via Group Policy, etc. ).
You mentioned a sub-domain. Where is the 'resource' located - in the child
domain, in another child domain or in the parent domain? Where are the
users located - in the child domain, in another child domain or in the
parent domain?
Is the 'file server' on a Domain Controller or on a Member Server?
Can you access the 'resources' when logged on as a member of the Domain
Admins group ( aka Administrator account or any other member of the Domain
Admins. If so, how about as a member of the Domain Admins group from
another domain )? Can you access the 'resources' when logged on as a
regular user? I think that we know that answer already.
Have you tried from several machines? From various OSes? Probably not
going to make a difference but let's try...
What do you mean when you state that "....but all attempts have the same
effect" in your second paragraph? Can you ping the server on which the
resources reside? Ping via IP Address? Ping via NetBIOS name? Ping via
FQDN? Success or failure of each...I am guessing that all have the "access
to resource is denied" pop up. Just want to be clear.
I might also suggest that you install the Support Tools from either the
WIN2000 Server CD or from the WIN2000 Service Pack CD ( in both cases the
Support Tools are found in the Support | Tools folder ). Then run both
netdiag /v and dcdiag /v on your Domain Controllers and netdiag /v on your
other Member Servers.
HTH,
Cary
