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..

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!!!

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.

    • Perplexity starts testing its Comet AI browser on Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Perplexity starts testing its Comet AI browser on Windows by Usama Jawad AI is all the rage these days with Microsoft heavily pushing Copilot, Google investing its efforts in Gemini and Veo, Apple still figuring out Apple Intelligence, and OpenAI continuing to dominate the headlines. Now, another player in this space, Perplexity, has decided that it wants a bigger chunk of the market too. We already know that Perplexity is interested in the browser market. In May, it rolled out a version of its AI browser, Comet, exclusively to Mac customers running Apple Silicon. As expected, this piece of software features AI capabilities front and center, including the ability to engage in conversations with the AI model in natural language, surface emails that you haven't responded to, and a "Try on" feature that enables users to upload a picture of themselves and then see AI-generated images of themselves with different pieces of clothing, just to get an idea of how aesthetic they could look if they wear certain garments. Now, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas has posted on X (formerly Twitter) that testing for the Windows version of Comet has now begun: Now that the testing for Comet on Windows has begun with a handful of testers, it will be interesting to see when the browser will roll out generally to customers and what feature set will eventually become available for the masses. That said, it is important to note that AI browser is not a novel concept; Opera Neon was recently announced as the first "AI agentic" browser. On a side note, Perplexity has been in hot waters recently. It received backlash from people after it revealed plans to find out everything its customers do online so that it can present them hyper-personalized ads. UK news outlet BBC also threatened the firm with legal action over its content scraping practices. Via: Engagdet

      probably because these will be a minority compared to our general tech coverage, plus these stories, their premises do seem quite interesting.

      Will Indian government upgrade my PC to Windows 11 if it's not supported? If they can't they should've mentioned alternatives as well.
