Re: File Sharing doesnt work!

Hi Anton,
Hmm.. When I tried to connect to a particular computer using Resultant Set
of Policy Wizard (to generate RSoP Data) it has an error msg that said:
"Failed to connect to DOMAIN\HOST due to the error listed below. Ensure that
the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is enabled on the target
computer, and consult the event log of the target computer for further
details.
Details :
The RPC server is unavailable"
Any thought?

Hi,

If this is happening on all of the XP computers first try turning off the
firewall and any antivirus programs that are installed. The best way to
disable the antivirus programs is to run the computer in selective mode or
safe mode with networking. The try to connect to this computer from another
one, by typing "\\computer_name" in Start/Run. Test the issue again by
running CMD console and type "net view computer_name". Which error does it
display? Check if there is any group policy applied to the client computers,
so run the mmc console and add Resutant Set of Group Policy snap-in and
check the result under Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security
Settings/Local Policies. Under User Rights Assignments check the following
keys:

-Access this computer from network (domain users should be in)

-Deny access to this computer from network

Under the security options take a look at this key:

-Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only
(disabled)-only if local admins do not have passwords

-Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumerations of SAM accounts
(enabled)

-Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumerations of SAM accounts and
shares (disabled)

-Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation (disabled)

-Network access: Let everyone permission apply to the anonymous user
(disabled)

Hi,

Usually the default settings allow domain users to access and share
folders.
First you have to check the firewall settings or antivirus programs,
they
have to allow File and Printer Sharing ports. Check the permissions on
the
shared folders. Which machine has the shared folders; XP or 2003? Does
this
happen on all machines that share the folders? What happens if you try
to
ping the machine that has the shared folders?
