Hi
I am still having problems with permissions on my domain… I have a printer shared on an XP Pro machine. When I try to connect to this printer from a Win98 SE machine (also on the domain), I get a dialog box asking for a password. What password???
The domain users are listed in Control Panel/accounts on the XP machine, and I have set up the same users as local users: domain\user and local machine\user are all listed. The users have exactly the same username and password for the local account as they have for the domain account.
When I access the printer properties on the XP machine and select the security tab, all the local users are listed but not the domain users, I have however made both domain and local users members of the local machine\power users group. The power users group is listed with full printing permissions. I cannot add domain users because the only location I can add users/groups from is the local machine, and the domain is not listed when I click the ‘Locations’ button.
When I log on to one of the Win98 machines with my own administrative domain account, I can print without being prompted for a password. As I said, the same (low) level of security is assigned to all users and groups in the printer properties security page.
Do I need to change the account details on the domain controller?
Please can someone help me reduce my stress levels…
