The read only setting would be set on the shared files and applied to a user
or group. So if the user logs onto another computer and tries to access the
same files and they come up as read only, check the permissions on the
shared folder. If the user logs onto another computer and tries to access
the same files and is able to modify them, I'd try recreating their profile
on the XP workstation. (Delete the user's profile under documents and
setting, let them log in and the profile is recreated, then test access.
AFAIK there is nothing on XP that would cause this unless it was a corrupt
user profile.

Danny,
Good questions, I will be on-site next week to check that issue. The
problem workstation can access one of the other workstation's printers. I
did not try file access though - is there any thing in XP that could be
locking the files as read only?. I even disabled the firewall on the PC
in
case that was causing a conflict. I never ran into this type of issue
before. My original thoughts were that it was an access rights problem on
the server but I am not sure anymore.
Thanks again - and if you have any more suggestions please feel free to
add
them

What happens when a user that is not having the problem logs into the
computer having the problem and tries accessing the same files?

Thanks to all that replied - I will look into the dcpromo option. as
to
the
"read only" problem - the workstation can open documents files but they
are
flagged as read only, and the main billing program responds with an
error
as
bring able only to open the files as read only and then stops loading.
I
checked all the rights as applies to the folders and the user is
logging
in
with administrator privileges as well. this workstation can map the
network
drives too. I even used the change network id wizard to create a new
domain
login, after completion I can map drives and use the other workstations
resoucres fine, but the server files are still not fully accesible.
any help is greatly appreciated
TIA

Yes, you can via <dcpromo>, but you could also add the file server and
server roles to the DC using the Manage Your Server wizard (Start ->
Run ->
Admin Tools -> Manage Your Server). If you choose to add the new
roles,
and
you're using Win2003-SP1 or later, make sure to also run the Security
Configuration Wizard (Start -> Run -> Admin Tools -> Security
Configuration
Wizard). The SCW is a roles-based means to harden the security on the
DC
while allow access to the roles/services you have available to the
users.
If
for some reason, the choices you make through the SCW create problems,
the
wizard permits roll-back of the settings.

Can a Server 2003 (5 users license, 4 users) Domain conroller be

back
into a plain file and print server - this is a very small network
and
it
seems that it is overkill for access to a few documents. also, why
would a
single workstation (xp pro) be able to login in to the server but
"read
only" rights. the other 3 stations (xp pro) login fine.
