Thanks for any help in advanced.
The Environment
1) Domain with AD
2) File share resides on Server 2008
a) \\server name\f$\folder name
b) Share permissions for file – Everyone – Full control
c) Group permissions for file – Local Admin, Domain Admin, System – All with full control
d) File sharing is turned on
e) Public folder and printer sharing is turned off
3) Client machines XP Pro (Clients have user rights only with roaming profiles)
4) My login is a member of the domain admin group
5) WINS and DNS are running.
I am not getting a login prompt when trying to access the shared folder when not logged in with my account or Admin account.
Example
To help a client I use remote assistance to control their PC. I need to retrieve a fix from the shared folder. I bring up the run line from the clients pc and type in the path of the shared folder and hit enter (\\server name\Folder name) instead of a login box that I can enter my username & password for access I get “\\server name\shared folder is not assessable. You might not have permissions to use the network resource Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions Access Denied”. If I browse to it, I can see it but I still get denied.
From my PC under my login I can access it without any problems.
Question
How do I force the login prompt so I can gain access to the shared folder from the clients login, without causing problems to the exchange or any other server?
