Guest Rich Wethington Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 I recently replaced the server we use for terminal services. I have installed all of the programs that were on the old server on the new one. My problem is that any program that is actually on a network drive will not work. I get the following error. Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. The programs work fine when run from the console, but not over terminal services. This server also has ISA 2000 running on it. The old one did also. Thanks, Rich Wethington

Guest Rich Wethington Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: running programs on network drives I am unsure what you mean. I can not add/remove a program from the control panel if the executable is on a network drive. I can not double click an execuutable on an network drive in wndows explorer. I get the same error from either.

Guest Rich Wethington Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: running programs on network drives I am not familiar with regmon/filemon. I have checked permissions and they seem fine.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: running programs on network drives From http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_user_issues.htm#IEESconfig Q: When users start a program, they get a "file download" dialog box, or an error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." A: Internet Explorer Enhanced Security (IEES) restricts access to scripts, executable files, and other potentially unsafe files on a UNC path unless the UNC path is added to the Local Intranet zone explicitly. For example, if you want to access \\server\share \setup.exe, you must add \\server to the Local Intranet zone. On the Terminal Server, go to Control Panel - Internet Options - Security - Local Intranet zone. Add the UNC name of the server where the application is located, something like \\server. Or configure this in a GPO: User Configuration - Windows Settings - Internet Explorer Maintenance - Security zones and Content ratings "Local intranet" If needed, set the "Launching applications and unsafe files" setting for your Local Intranet zone to Enable. For more details, check this: Internet Explorer Maintenance Extension Technical Reference http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/7393c49d- 238e-433d-9193-ffe4f64b1e0f1033.mspx Managing Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d41b036c- e2e1-4960-99bb-9757f7e9e31b 815141 - Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration Changes the Browsing Experience http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=815141 _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?UmljaCBXZXRoaW5ndG9u?= <RichWethington@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 11 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > I tried that.

Guest Dragos CAMARA Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 RE: running programs on network drives hi, uninstall Internet explorer enhanced security configuration windows component, or set the servers where the share reside on trusted sites on internet explorer, or put the servername and IP on the hosts on the terminal server. -- Dragos CAMARA MCSA Windows 2003 server "Rich Wethington" wrote: > I recently replaced the server we use for terminal services.
