Dfs and W2K

[ccuster]

I loaded a Dfs Root and added shares in this root. I gave both Share rights Full Control to everyone, and NTFS rights of Full Control to everyone in both the root folder I made for the Dfs and for the subfolders. I can see the folders by all PC's 98 and 2000 pro alike, but I cannot write or read any info in these folders. I cannot even do it from the Server, but if I go directly to the folder \\ServerName\directory, I can write and read as usual.

Does anyone have advise.

Thanks, Chuck

In our domain I had to grant those rights to "authenticated users" as "everyone" wouldn't work. I've been told that the "everone" group is something like anonymous i.e. the users may not be in the domain.

Could somebody give us a short introduction in the user/group rights please?

I know this was posted a long time ago, but I've had to hack through DFS a lot so far. The way it's set up, you're supposed to only access the files over the network.

They assume you're using DFS on a full-time file server. And when you replicate, it's going to another file server, not to a client.
