I am getting very frustrated with AD on a W2K3 server. I have checked the GPO and can not find what is preventing users from being able to change their files, delete or add new folders, et cetera.
The Story: I have two servers, call them server1 and server2. Both are W2K3 standard servers SP2 with AD. I have over 100 users (students). Each user has been setup as a Roaming user with the profile saved to server2 where also their exists a shared folder for student data. Under the shared folder on server2 (which is mapped by default as F:\student data\yeargraduating\%username%) and I have manually key’d each users folder on server2.
Initial log on by each user automatically creates and saves their profile on server2\profiles, but strange thing, as the administrator I can not open the users profile folder (access denied) unless I take ownership – this is another isssue for later.
My problem: I can have the user log on at a local WXP Pro computer, it maps to the correct drive location F:\student data\%username% and then the student can open the folder and see all their files and folders. But, when they try to open a file, add a new file/folder they get an error “Access denied”.
One more little piece of info; I copied all the data, folder structure, files et cetera from an old Novell Network server version 5.12. I used the copy command, not move.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
