Hello all,
I am a student working for a small office in a university. I have no access to the active directory, but I have been giving the task of documenting how to access folders on the DFS from a computer that has not been added to the domain. Seemed simple enough when first given the task.
When I go Start>Run and type in \\dfs.ad.domain.ca it brings up the login window, in which I type ad/user and the appropriate password. Window pops up showing me all of the folders, but when I try to open up the folder I need, it tells me it is not accessible.
When I log into a computer that is on the domain with the same credentials, everything works fine. I can access the folders and everything. For some reason it just doesn’t want to work when I’m doing it on a computer that is not on the domain.
Does this mean there are permission issues that are beyond my control, or is there more I can do?
Thanks in advance
