Can't share directory 1

[AccUser]

I have an new NT 4.0/SP6a box with RAID 5. I have C:, D: (CD), & E: Drives.

I use C: to hold my apps and E: to hold my users' directories.

Only 1 of my users can access any of the shared folders on the E: drive, the other's can't. (Access Denied Error). But, if I create a folder on the C: drive, they all can access it.

Any NT Admins out there who has a definite answer/fix?

Thanks in advance.

Start with the obvious.

Do the users have permission to use the share? This is affected by both the share and the NTFS permissions. The most restrictive wins.

Do you have a user limit set in the share properties?

If the above is ok, are the users all using the same client and what is it?

I have shares setup properly (ie NTFS). I have both NetBeui and TCP/IP installed. I use Static IPs (the network is only 6 nodes, not including the server). I do not have user limits on the share.

Additional question: why does the share work on C:, but not E:?

Id there a chance that your C: drive is FAT, while the rest are NTFS? If so, this takes file/folder level permissions out of the picture... - Bill

I would suggest to start from the beginning: give Everyone - Full Access on the E:, test the accessibility, then add a user with a full access, remove Everyone, test again, do the same on the share level, and so on.

At some point, you'll get a breakthrough.

Good luck

Will try suggestions and post results. Being that this is a remote site, I will have to travel to site.

Thanks in advance.

If this is a remote site, could be a networking issue (timeout, protocols, etc.). try to test the pattern locally first.

Good luck.

forgot to reply to voyager1.

When I installed NT, of course I installed it as FAT, but then ran "convert c:/ntfs", so drive is not NTFS.
