Re: Cant install any software from a netwwork drive.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Probably only event viewer and that programs installation log files. Check
your file and share permissions, read only might not work if the app is
trying to create log files etc. on that drive.

The files are inside a folder called software which is shared. The folder
is
on the Domain controller. I have mapped a drive to the share on the
workstation while logged as the domain admin.

As a test I have tried creating new folders and deleting them on the share
from the workstation and that all works fine. It is only when I try and
run
the executable for the installs that I get the error dialog saying.
"Windows
cannot accedd the specified device path or file. You may not have the
appropriate permissions to access the item."

This is the case on all the workstations in the domain and there are 9 of
them I didnt have htis problem with the share before I joined the
workstation
to the domain which made me think that it might be a domain policy at play
here. are there any log files ai could look at to see why the access was
denied?

Thanks

I have a windows server 2003 R3 SP2 domain setup with all workstations
running the same OS and SP level. I cant install software on any of the
workstations when mapped to a network drive. I am logged in as the
domain
admin and as such would think that I would be able to install software
on
the
workstation. If I copy the files locally then I can perform the
software
install.

Is there a new policy in winsvr2k3SP2 tha prevents running executables
from
a remote netwrok drive?

Thanks
