Hi, after about an hour of searching these forums I haven’t found much so I’m hoping someone can help. Sorry for the long post.
The Envrionment:
There is a user called “UserA” in a child domain called “DomainA”. I’ve got a Windows 2003 server called “Server1” sharing a folder shared as “share1”. This server resides in a different child domain called “DomainB”. Under share1 there is a sub/nested folder called “sub folderA” (note the space in the folder name). We don’t want UserA to have access to everything in share1 but do want UserA to have access to subfolderA. So on the NTFS permissions for “sub folderA” we granted full access to Everyone. The share permissions for share1 has full access for Everyone but the NTFS permissions for share1 does not include access for UserA. UserA is not explicitly denied access either.
The Problem:
UserA cannot access the folder using the UNC “\\server1\share1\sub folderA” (double quotes used in the ‘run’ line) or “\\
My understanding is that if a sub/nested folder has proper access for UserA in the NTFS security then UserA should be able to access the sub folderA via a full UNC to that folder. I thought it was a WINS issue so I tried the IP address instead of the servername but no luck.
Does UserA need explicit NTFS rights to sub folderA for this to work? I thought Everyone means everyone?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
