    Cannot write to local shared directory


    I wondered if anyone has experienced this issue...

    We noticed a permissions error on a server that uses a case management system. It works by writing to locally hosted shared folders. After a reboot, we get the error - "Destination folder access denied" "You need permission to proform this action" when trying to write to the directory off \\Server\Share as any user account. Also, this seems to happen on any machine in our network - I created a share on a workstation and can view \\Workstation\Share - but can't write to the directory.

    If I navigate to \\IPAddress\Share on host and client - can read and write

    If I navigate to \\FQDN\Share on host and client - can read and write

    If I navigate to \\Server\Share on a client as any user - can read and write

    Also, mapping the drive on host and client - can read and write

    Hoping someone can shed some light on this if they've had similar issues?

    I've checked offline file sync is disabled, no credentials are stored in credential manager, clearing the CSC cache, file permissions set for everyone, full control, DNS, NETBios.

    Thanks,

    **EDIT**

    Also rolled back any Windows updates to a time when this was working.

    :)

  2. Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
