Windows NT Domain, Problem with a Windows 2000 server.

Computer Name: myserver

I have a shared directory called "install". Domain users have all but full permissions to the shared Dir. Domain Admin has full access.

When domain user tries to access the directory, they get "Problem Creating Object", "Access is Denied".

Permissions were working just fine, until this morning.

Event Viewer and Audit logs show nothing.

Thx.

Points to all good answers!!

Where does your share reside? Win2k or NT 4.0? If it resides on a NT 4.0 server and the permissions were administered from a Win2k Workstation/Server it may have wiped out all the settings. I ran into this problems a few times. Go to the local server were the share resides and verify that both the "Share" and "Security" permissions are set properly. This is only a suggestion not an answer. I hope it helps!

The share sits on a Win2k Server. We are still running a Windows NT domain. But I did notice that the share permissions got wiped out on the Win2k Box. Nothing on the Event Viewer. Thx.

Hi,

Look further up the directory tree for a changed permission that gets inherited on the way back down the tree. That could be one cause - domain users cant create anything in that folder with a "changed" permission to the parent folder...

Try re-joining the win2K machine to the domain. I've seen lots of times where mysteriously a box drops out of (or at least partially) the domain and is fixed by simply re-establishing the trust.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Tim.
