Hello, all--having a bit of trouble here, and my brain is fried. I have been searching all over for solutions, and I am coming up short. I am getting the horrible feeling like this is a forehead slapping, stupid, easy issue--but it eludes me!!
We have a server (still NT) that replaced a problematic one. (Yes, this is scheduled for an upgrade when time allows--maybe this is a sign that the time is now?!!).
Trying to map network drives to some shared folders which all previously worked (on old NT server). When we copied the shared folders, the permissions appear to have tranferred correctly as well. To be sure, we have actually removed and reapplied the security settings--all with the same results.
The issue is:
System 1 (win 2k pro): User1 logs onto system. Both mapped drives access fine. User2 logs onto system, try to access the share, gets "this user account has expired". In the process of troubleshoooting we deleted the share, tried to re-map, and we get "An extended error has occurred--access denied". User is not expired. I am able to change this user's account info, go back to the server in question, and the settings seem to take--so it seems to be pulling down this info correctly....
System 2 (win 2k pro): User1 still works fine. User2 works fine.
I have tried various things--even those that don't seem like they apply. I have checked time sync with the domain controller on the server in question as well as the workstations. I have ensured that this server is properly joined to the domain. I have removed the workstation(s) in question from the domain and rejoined it. We have removed User1's account and set it back up.
I actually have about 20 people accessing these shares, and 3 with these errors....
There is much more that we tried, but the facts are slowly slipping away and/or all fading together. What am I missing?
Thank you for all of your help (and reading through a painfully long post)!
