Win 2003 Folder Sharing

[Guest Charlie Brown]

I have a win2k3 box that I have shared the d:\

 

If I type \\servername\d to open the shared folder, I get access

denied. I am logged onto the server as an admin, permissions are

correct for both the share and the folder. Also trying to get to the

share from the server itself. Its almost as if sharing for the server

itself is turned off / disabled.

Hello Charlie,

 

The drive letter sharing is always done as d$. By default you can not share

it for users it is a so called admin share. Create a folder under d:\myshare

and share myshare with the name you like.

Your reply is at variance with the following sequence of commands:

C:\>net share d=d:\

d was shared successfully.

 

C:\>dir \\pegasus\d

Volume in drive \\pegasus\d is DATA

Volume Serial Number is C300-9717

Directory of \\pegasus\d

etc.

 

\\pegasus\d was even accessible by an ordinary user, not

an administrator.
