My Documents

[mtownbound]

I know this is Server 2003, but I'm running a Server Standard 2008 (that was migrated from SBS 2003) domain and one of my users (on Windows XP SP3) was able to access their My Documents, which is located on the server. Then about an hour later, she was not able to access her My Documents. "You do not have access to the server.........". Steps taken:

1) She can use explorer to navigate to the server, but can't open her My Documents

2) If I had Everyone to the permissions for her My Documents folder, then and only then can she access her My Documents.

3) If I remove Everyone from the permissions and just add her, she can't access her My Documents.

4) If I log onto her machine as Administrator, I can access her My Documents

5) If she logs onto a different machine, she can access her My Documents with no problems

6) Event logs say that there was no server available to connect to.

Am I missing something here?

Check the logs on the pc she is having issues with but it sounds like a trust issue between the server and pc.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't know if it's a trust issue. The following were in the event log:

"There are currently no logon servers...."
"Security system could not establish a secured connection..."
"The redirector failed to....."
"The system failed to register host (A)resource records..."

It could be a DNS issue try removing from domain and change pc name then rejoin it again.

That's not a DNS issue if the user can browse to the server (by name). And removing it from the domain doesn't resolve DNS issues any better than normal methods.

If you reboot the maching and log in with admin credentials, do you still see the same log entries?

Have you tried executing NLTEST to verify the secure channel between user's machine and the domain?

It appears that I'm getting the errors on multiple systems, especially Event Id's 40960 and 40961. I thought it was isolated to wireless systems, but that's not the case. Even the wired systems are getting them.

If I reboot, I get same errors. They eventually go away, but they're off the server for a few minutes....and no specific amopunt of time.

Any ideas???
