strange permissions error on share

[Guest Brian Z]

I cannot run exe files directly from the server. When running them from the

share (\\server\share\file.exe), I get a permissions error that reads

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have

the appropriate permissions to access the item." It does run however when I

execute it from explorer using the drive (D:\folder\file.exe), or using the

unc path from another computer. I am logging in as the domain admin. All

users have full share permissions. What could be causing this?

Thanks for any help,

Brian

RE: strange permissions error on share

 

If you open \\server\share\ and double click file.exe - does it work?
