file share permissions not working


Recommended Posts

A co worker moved our dieing file server shares to a new file server. After

that our users are reporting problems accessing the shares. They are saying

they can only read the share but share and NTFS permission are set so they

have full control over there folder. Below is the steps we think our co

worked did to move the files. he is gone out of town so we can ask him for

sure. I double check all share setting and they match the original file

server. The other problem is we are running out of disk space on C: We have

200mb left. Not sure why he set it up that way. Would that affect the share

access? This is our primary production files server so any help would be

great. This file server is a member server.

 

dieing file server is named fileserver1

 

New file server is named fileserver2

 

copied shares manually from fileserver1 to fileserver2

enabled the sharing on fileserver2

took fileserver1 down

renamed fileserver2 to fileserver1 to keep dns happy

Let's see some hard evidence about your user's access rights!

1. Log on as the problem user.

2. Assuming that Q:\Data is the problem folder, execute these

commands from a Command Prompt:

net user "%UserName%" /domain > c:\test.txt

cacls "Q:\Data" 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1

dir "Q:\Data" 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1

md "Q:\Data\TestFolder" 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1

notepad c:\test.txt

3. Post the contents of this file.

 

If you still can't work out what's wrong, check the share permissions

of the share that Q:\Data is mapped to. They should be set to

"full access for everyone". The command

 

net share {ShareName}

 

will show you the permissions when executed on your domain

controller.
