Hi guys,
Are bad permissions still a suspect?
It's probably a good time to check that your Share and NTFS permissions are not the culprit to your inability to access your shares, Ozstar. Unfortunately Windows 7 does not come with PowerShell 3.0 by default, so for us to see the relevant permissions, I'll need you to run a batch file that collects some information about your shares for us so that we can examine your permissions first hand and not just take your work for it.
Run the below batch script on the machine that's hosting the Share you are having difficulties accessing remotely. The batch script will create a txt file on your desktop. Upload that file or copy-paste it's contents here for us to peruse.
GetShareInfo.bat
Code:
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
:: Source: https://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/380833-help-create-regular-lan-share-drives-folders-not-home-2.html#post3145446
REM This batch file collects the following information:
REM The current machine's OS and version
REM Share information and permissions
REM Share path permissions
REM
REM Limitations:
REM Share details will not be retrieved for Share names that exceed 45 characters.
set "output_file=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\ShareDetails.txt"

endlocal & set "%~1=%_%"

:trim_trailing_spaces VariableName
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
REM Uses delayed expansion, however, may be slightly quicker than the verion without.
REM Don't use this if the string may contain an exclaimation mark!

And along with this information, Ozstar, would you be able to answer the following:
- What share are you trying to access and on what machine?
- What user on what machine are you attempting to access the share with?
- And what groups is this user in?
