I just bought IBM machine that came with windows 2003 enterprise edition. I have been able to migrate all my NT accounts to it. It is now my domain controler. Everything is working OK. I have created a shade and copied a program from the NT server to the win 2003 server but nobody is able to run the program. It tries to open but finally, we get the message " you do not have permission to open this file. I think the permissions are OK because, everyone has full control on both the program and the share.
Please help.

You copied a program onto a share on the 2003 box? Unless it is an installation .exe, it will not run like that. You should copy the entire disk or program CD onto the server share. Then when users click on the .exe, installation will begin onto the client PC.

It is a software called great plains. It is installed onto a share. The users have a client version. All they have to do is to be mapped onto the share on the server. This is how it has beenworking on the NT server. It is still working in NT but when I copied it onto a shared directory in win2003 they get the message as I have discribed above.
