why do I have an "access denied" ?

1. I add an NT 4 WST client to the domain with SRVMGR.

2. after rebooting the client we do a login on local (because the host is now member of the domain)

3. I try to map a shared folder from the fileserver and it succeed, but as sun as I want to open the new maped folder, I receive
"access denied".

The user is member of the "global group" who has change rights, the login is the same for the domain and the local login.

If the user try to login from an other NT WST
is it working perfectly.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

everything youv? done is allright but youv?e forgotten to add the domain-admins and domain-users to add in the local groups of administrators and Useres. Why ? Because you added the machine account manually from the server Manager, that meansthis groups are not add automaticaly like doing it from the network property?s.

Hope it helps

As I get it from your question...

From a new workstation (non-domain member) you are trying to make a connection to a server on the domain using a domain ser account.

Try this, try to map a drive again, when it asks for the login name and password use:
domainname\domainuser format for the user name and the enter your password. It seems like you are making the connection to the share but are not authenticating properly.

I aggree with answer #1. I use to add machines like you have and had a lot of problems. I works much better if you add them to the domain from the properties of network neighborhood.
