RE: Cannon Run Executables from Shared Drive on Either Domain Cont

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



The XP Clients have IE6 and not IE7. The shares CAN be run from teh server
itself, and can also be run teh the BDC Domain controller (W2k3) if it
connects to the PDC where teh shares reside

Are your XP clients running IE7? Try rebuilding XP with only IE6? Again,
can you run exes from a network share on the W2K3 server itself? (i.e.
attaching to a different server.)

The 2003 server has a multitude of shares where executables reside. Our
network consists of 1 Windows 2000 Client, and all other are Windows XP
clients. ALL Windows XP machines encounter the access denied error, yet all
privs are security has been set to everyone with full control, the Windows
2000 Client CAN access the shares and execute the files no problem.

Ah - so the problem you are seeing relates to XP/2000 clients. The 2000
clients work fine and the XP clients do not? Can you run exes from a network
share off the W2K3 server itself?

I just tried to remove IE7 and revert to IE6. The process was a success but
I am still stuck with the issue =/ This is really odd, as teh Windows 2000
PC still connects and executes files fine but NO XP machine will correctly
function

Ah. I'm wondering if this is one of those 'intermittant' type problems?
I've got two other servers running IE7 with enhanced security, no problem at
all. My problem server will only work if enhanced security is removed. And
you have a server that won't work with IE7 whether you have enhanced security
on or not.

How about trying to remove IE7 on your problem server, i.e. going back to IE6?

I might completely try rebuilding my problem server.

I have removed Enhanced Security But am Still Running IE7

You tried removing enhanced IE security? That one did work for me, but it's
not a very secure solution. What version of IE are you running if you don't
mind me asking? Since M$ aren't stepping up to the plate on this, we might
as well discuss amongst ourselves ;-)

I recently put in 2 Windows 2003 servers into our small county jail over the
past 3 weeks. I upgraded from Windows NT 4.0 to 2003 and brought a new 2003
server in as PDC. Everything Seemed fine but now no users, even the domain
admin when logged to a client PC, cannot run executables from shared drives.
Yet if i logon as local administrator on a client PC, then navigate to the
server I seem to be able to run any application fine. I have set security
and share permissions to full control for EVERYONE to try and remedy this
with test programs and directories but I am at a dead end. Any help would be
most greatful.
