Re: Problem accessing user machine.

Terence, Your first suggestion worked fine when I added my personal domain
account to the c-drive share properties and security. I still find it
confusing that I needed to do so on that machine, but not on any other. I
thought being a member of administrators, engineering (a group we created)
and at least one other group would have worked. All of these other groups
had "full control" permissions to the share.

It's fixed now though, thanks for your help.

Hello Scott,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Cris for the input.

According to your description, I understand that you unable to write to
the
shared folder on one client computer. If I have misunderstood the problem,
please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we
can
resolve this issue:

1. Please ensure your domain account has shared permission and NTFS
permission of the shared folder:

a. On the problematic client computer, right click the shared folder,
select properties
b. Select Sharing tab, click Permissions button
c. Click Add button to add your domain account in the list, then, give it
'Change' permissions. Click OK
d. Select Security tab
e. Click Add button to add your domain account in the list, then, give it
'Modify' permissions. Click OK

Then, logon another computer with your domain account, access the shared
folder, and try to write to the folder.

2. If the above steps unable to resolve this issue, I suggest you rejoin
the problematic client to SBS domain:

a. Disjoin domain: Right click My Computer->Properties->Computer Name
tab->Change button->Select Workgroup->click OK twice and reboot it.
b. Create user account and computer account thru the Add User Wizard:
SBS->Server Management console->Users->Add a User
c. Rejoin domain thru connectcomputer wizard on client: On the client,
access http://SBSname/connectcomputer/. Finish the wizard and reboot it.

Then, logon SBS with domain administrator account and access the shared
folder on the client.

3. If the issue persists, I suggest we do clean boot on the problematic
client to narrow down this issue:

To clean boot the problematic computer, please use the steps below:
a. Click Start, click Run, and then in the Open box, type "MSCONFIG"
(without the quotation marks). Click OK.

b. In the System Configuration Utility (MSConfig) window, click to select
the Selective Startup button.

c. Click to clear the check mark from the "Load startup items" below
Selective Startup.

d. Click the Services tab, click to check the "Hide All Microsoft
Services"
box, and remove all the check marks from the remained Non-Microsoft
Services.

e. Click OK to close the MSConfig window. Click Yes when you are asked to
restart your computer in order to enable the changes.

f. After restarting, please check whether this issue will reoccur.

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

1. Can you write to other shared folder on this problematic client?

2. Can you write to other client computer's shared folder?

3. What error do you get when you try to write to the shared folder?
Please
capture screenshots on the error messages and send the pictures to me at
v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

4. What's edition of your SBS? The problematic client is XP or Vista?

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| The c-drive is shared and I have permissions as administrator and at
least 2 other groups in the share.
| This is a small domain and we use the write to pass files around. Tend
to be files that aren't under source control (yet). Probably in violation
of SBS good practices, we do not keep all of the users data on the server.
We tend to keep most things local to the ws.
| FWIW, this machine was orginally in a stand alone workgroup. It was
added to the domain and the workgroup isn't used any more. The machine
has
access to other resources and when logged in as myself, I can pass files
back to my main ws, but haven't been able to write to the c-drive.

| Is the C drive shared? Does your user account in the domain have
permissions to that Share?
| Can't imagine why you'd need to write anything to a workstation drive
remotely anyway, but...
