Saving to a share problem

Hello,

We have around 60 users running Vista on our Windows 2003 network - and every user has a two networked drives (a public drive and a home drive private to every user).

It seems that two users can not save/rename/move files or folders to there home drive. They can save/rename/move etc files on the public drive, but not on there home drives. They get an error:

“You need permission to perform this action”

Try again or Cancel

However - these two users are set up no different to any of the other 58 users we have in regards permissions. The home drives are set up through the AD user account. The clients are fully patched up and run Vista SP1.

As I said - this only affects 2 users weirdly.

Any ideas?
 
Something isn't set up the same. Just to double check the permissions go to Advanced -> Effective Permissions tab within the security section on the directory.

I hate all Uppercase... I don't want my groups to seem angry at me all the time! =)

I agree - something has to be set up different. However - checking the Effective Permissions and Ownership for someone who is working fine against the two users that aren't - and everything is the same.

I'm tempted to delete the users in AD and recreate...
