Re: Permission mapping drives fro certain workstations

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Thanks Cary for your response,

I am simply trying to map a drive (ie. C$, ADMIN$) on one of my DC using
different credentials from my workstation but it says access denied. When I
perform the same function on another machine it allows me (with the same
alternate credentials). Since I can do it from another machine the user
permissions are not an issue but I was wondering if it had to do with my
computer account.

The error states that it is "access denied" but why from my station and not
another (besides the station I am using to map the drive successfully is a
heavily restricted user station (GPO) whereas I use my machine for most
administrative task in my environment). The configuration (ie. domain
memebership, subnet, etc) are all the same. It seems to be very puzzling to
me.

Hope that explanation can give you further insight to my problem,

Altria,

This is a special share that typically maps to C:\WIINDOWS or C:\WINNT,
depending on OS. So, there are permissions involved. I assume that this
is not the problem, though. Assuming that the user is logging in with an
account that can do this. I am also assuming that the user is properly
disconnecting from the share.

What is it that you are trying to do?

Hello All,
I seem to have an issue with a particular account mapping to a DC from
certain workstations. I am able to map certain folders on a DC from one
workstation but not another which has the same permissions. Is there any
reason for this (particularly an admin$ drive).
I was thinking I have reached a limit on the number of connections I can
make but it seems that this is not the case.
TIA,
Altria
BTW....win2k3/2k AD and xpsp2 clients
