after being hit by the minda virus and cleaning it off our servers all users have been unable to access the shared resources for some reason unless i give them admin privilages which is too dangerious. Can anyone tell me how to reverse this situation???

I believe that the nimda cleanup utillities that are available typically remove all permissions from shares. You will probably need to check all share properties and security permissions on those shares to see if there are any permissions assigned other than Administrators only having access.

Your best bet is to un-share the folder, and then recreate the share with the appropriate permissions.

Good luck.

Sounds like Permissions got messed up, either by virus or repair. Reset permissions to reflect how they were or how you want them. Also take ownership of resources as an Administrator.

Are you sure Nimda was cleaned off ?
If yes,
1. Login as Administrator in Server.
2. Remove all shares first.
3. Then click folder & take permissions for all.
4. Make it sharable again & add users (not groups) giving them "READ or CHANGE" permissions ONLY. To Administrator give "FULL" permission.
Hope the problem gets solved.
