It's all going wrong today.

I have a folder called test on a domain,

If I go \\server\test from a NON domain computer, I can create, modify and delete the contents of the folder, how is that possible when the only permissions for the folder is System & Administrators

This is rather annoying me as I don't know whats going on, as it should give me the big F OFF!

Any ideas?

Screenshots of the Security tab and Share Permissions plz.

The folder isn't shared I'm accessing it by typing in \\servername\g$\test and the folder permissions are system & administrators, on full permission

Well G$ is an admin share. So either one of two things is going one

1: Your user account on the local system has credentials that match a domain admin account, or has saved credentials.

2: Your default admin shares on the server have different security permissions then default. Which I think is setup in GPO.

One of the first things I done was check out the credentials vault on my windows 7 PC, but I deleted them all, but can still access it.

I wouldn't know where to go for the default admin share permissions in GPO, so I wouldn't of changed it.

Just noticed when going onto my other server I get a login box, even if I just do \\servername so it's something odd with the other one

Tricky eh!

As soon as you put your computer on the domain network your local hard drives get shared with a $...c$ d$ e$ etc. you will not see these shares simply by browsing to them. anything with a $ at the end of them is a hidden/non published share. To be able to access these admin shares you need to be a domain admin by default unless you messed with the security.

If you are connecting to test that isn't a default share. We would need to have a screen shot of the security tab on test to be able to further diagnose. You probably have anon user listed in there or everyone and have given full/modify access to either of them. If you want I can remote in and poke around so you can see what is going on.

Sounds like you've applied permissions to the share (\\server\test) as opposed to the folder (\\servername\g$\test).

Right-click on the folder, Properties, then the Security tab. Set your permissions there--not the Sharing tab.

Either that, or disable admin shares. That way you won't be able to access \\servername\g$ to begin with.

Found out the problem was due to the fact I had a mapped drive to the server, and I saved my credentials (which couldn't be found anywhere) so I used "net use * /delete" this cleared all my mapped drives, then when I went back into \\servername I got the loigin prmpt then, I then saved my credentials and it's now in the vault, very odd!

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.

    • Stop reporting AR glasses as an X inch screen, Y distance away. That is a horseshit meaningless spec. Report on the actual FOV angle. That's all that matters. And for the record, this FOV is ~49degrees. So we're talking about HoloLens level FOV... i.e. it's like looking through a piece of paper at arm's length.
    • I bought a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro for $250 brand new during Black Friday, to give some comparison. Things are getting absolutely ridiculous.
