Domain Controller Users Can't Share Files


Recommended Posts

Thanks for replay

We have 16 Systems.I created DC eg:123.com in Server Window2003.In DC i created user like U1,U2,U3,U4,U5..... Rest of them systems we are using Winxp Professional as a DC users.Everything is going fine.But we are facing a little bit problem Users can not share folders.Is there any policy that we need to enable any solution will be appriciated.

i)Users are not getting Sharing and Security tab on file/folder properties.

ii)There is no error message.

Thanks for replay.

If their domain account is a member of the local Admin or Power users group, and still no share tab.. Check that the server services is started on their machine.

Curious why would you have users creating shares in the first place?? You do know there is a 10 connection limit on XP pro.. With 15 users, your going to run into issues if everyone wants to connect to the share that is on a XP machine.

Normally in a setup where you have moved to running AD, there would be a file server where users share files to and from.. This would allow for easy backup and control of data access. This could be the same machine as your DC.. And the network admin would create the shares and set permissions, etc..

Like budman said....

1. Check to see if the domain users group is in the local administrator group on each PC.

2. The concept of a Client/Server setup is to have the Server do the file sharing and all other services.

Create a folder on the server and named it U1 and have the user U1 copy his files in there and that way everyone with the right rights can access the data

Have fun!!!

Means it is not possible to Users Cann't get Sharing and Security tab on file/folder properties.

We need that.

:blink: :huh: :blink:

Users that are atleast members of the "Power Users" group on the machine can create shares with no problem.. Who ever said it was not possible??

What Local group on the machine is the domain users account in? Put them in the "Power Users" group.

    • Yeah, it would be totally onboard for that!! I think one challenge with such a system would be defining its primary identify. Is it a gaming PC that can also run xbox games, or is it an xbox that also has a Windows desktop? I think the 1st would be more useful of a system, but also would have more challenges to create, both technical and legal. The second would be easy...just add an app to the xbox that is a fully sandboxed Windows desktop. That would mean the Windows desktop would be essentially limited to what a VM can do. The only complicated thing here would be that people will expect to be able to play PC games on the desktop, so they would have to get some form of GPU passthrough working. From a tinkerer's perspective, this sounds like a no-brainer, but from a cooperate perspective, it would create a lot of support obligations for Microsoft, which is probably why they will never officially do it.

    • I can't tell which of them is the ventriloquist and which is the dummy...
    • Yeah, I can see that. I would hope that an xbox branded handheld could bridge the legal gap. Maybe to help get around the legal definitions of the differences between Windows and xbox, they could just make it dual-boot. That would be kind of shame because I'm sure an xbox app could do all the same things, but if you have to totally shutdown windows and start it up in "xbox mode" then perhaps the game studios would be more okay with that...then down the road maybe a hot new update removes the requirement to reboot to change modes :-)
