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!!!

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.

    • Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it?

      I think you answered why it gets so much attention in your comment. It's designed to make Windows accessible to everyone! It's a core component of the Windows UI, and 30 years of its existence is why it remains such a key component and receives so much attention to this day!

      I agree with your points, particularly around workflows. But I think this is a symptom of the way Microsoft plans, builds, and releases its OS's, not about its UI ideals itself. It has historically been large jumps in UI changes between releases, XP > Vista > 7 > 8 were ALL significant changes in how we performed tasks. Then Win10 was released and updated twice a year with minor changes. This was somewhat nice as the changes were often minimal, however as it looked like the same OS for the most part, when something did change (like the start menu), it was a bit confusing for people who didn't understand that they had actually been upgraded, and why just this one key part of their workflow had changed. But I believe that was too slow, and didn't allow their future designs to be played out in that release structure. So the "last Windows version ever" was superseded with a new UI and overhauled once more. It too has changed quite a bit in its 4 years, but I think there needs to be an understanding of that change, which I guess we have in the "24H2" version numbering, but not in the marketing that most users know. The most consistent and clear communication of changes I think is done with MacOS. While I'm not a fan of Apples software, their clear and consistent release schedule, and progressively planned changes to the OS is easy to understand, leading towards a well thought out goal. Their users understand the branding of the big updates, and that changes will occur when they update, yet these are more subtle than changes we see in Windows 7 > 8 > 10 > 11 releases. On that, Windows 10/11 version updates just get lost in the vast collection of update types in Windows Update, and as such most users wouldn't know if the were on 22H2, 23H2 or 24H2, or even know what those meant. My thoughts are that Microsoft will drop the Win11/Win12 branding once Windows 10 has finally died. And hopefully, make it a bit more consistent with feature/UI updates sticking to an improved branded version/year release rather than "moments" or just randomly enabled elements in a random monthly update. Until then, even us tech users rarely know what features are in what release and if we will see it on our own computers. Get with it MS!

      Hello, Horizon Data Systems, the developer, has been around for 27 years.  I do not recall hearing anything bad about them, but I also haven't used their software, either. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
