File access is restricted

[Guest JoeS]

I have windows 2003 standard edition 32 bit that is an additional domain

controller on my network and is running SQL server 2005.

All of a sudden, file access is restricted to bat files and exe files, this

happen while configuring the database for the SQL server.

We are trying setup the user interface and security which is run from a

mapped network drive.

We keep getting this message “Windows cannot access the specified device,

path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the

item.”

I know this for not always the case as I installed a program from a

network shared drive.

This is happening with both the Administrator and SQL Admin with

Administrator security rights keep getting the message.

I need to know what is causing this problem and how to fix it.
