Hi

I have manually mapped a network drive on a Windows Pro SP2 network on a clinet workstation, running XP pro SP2 however I can access the drive using my admin account but when i use the users account for this workstaion i get the access denied message, the drive should be laoding up as part of a group policy but isn't.

Will setting permission on the drive to allow the user access help?

I think it is but the AD admin won't buy it, I am tempted to just give them permissions myself and risk the admins wrath

I agree with the other guys..

Tell him I said you could do it. lol

as a test. You can give permissions to just 1 user to test it. If it works, it works.

If the admin doesn't like it let him come up with something.

I want to add that after the test, when it works, have the admin create a global group, and add permissions to it. ave him add everyone theat needs access to the global group.
