Windows 10: "Access Denied" message on trying to access network shared folders

Hello Everyone,


Have a situation, would appreciate your valuable support and answer on this.


I have a small office environment with a Windows Server 2012 Standard edition in place along with 6 Windows PCs connected to a basic network system, wherein which non of the clients are connected to the server via active directory but work as individual workstations. The dhcp and dns is provided by the router itself.

Now the Server has a tally server software running, along with the clients running the tally client software on their systems respectively.

We have a couple of folders on the server that needs to be shared on the network in order for the client PCs to be able to access these folders for the tally to work properly.

The server already has active directory installed on it with some users created for that domain, now the necessary users have been given full privileges to access these shared folders.

However, when we type in the \\ and server IP to access these shared folder we get an login page, then when typing that full privilege user's name and password, we get the access denied message, which happens to occur via my network places, etc. But for some reason depending on the moment or time, the PC suddenly can access these shared folders via my network places and can be mapped after typing in the username and password, so then tally works.

Although typing in the server IP to access these shared folders never goes in, and says access denied again.(even though we can access those shared folders during that moment)


Now I don't think this is a windows 10 issue, cause its the same problem with other versions of windows as well.


Appreciate if you can help me out.

Thank You

:)

 

Shared network folders access denied

Hi,

I have set folders to be shared on my home network but access is denied when trying to access them.

I set their permissions to Full Control but I am always prompted to check the permissions settings despite I am the Administrator of all my PCs.

What could be the problem?

Thanks

"Access is Denied" when trying to view contents of shared folder


So I bit the bullet and "upgraded" my laptop from Windows 7 to 10. I expected to find a few things that didn't work anymore, but not so soon as this. I keep it in sync with my desktop PC (running XP) by net-sharing its hard drive, with permission for full control granted to its "administrators" group. I mount it on my desktop PC, where I have the same username and password for my primary administrator account. When it ran Windows 7 this all worked well, but now whenever I try to list or open its files I get "Access is denied." Any ideas?





Interestingly, I still can access the hard drive on my desktop PC while sitting at my laptop. It is only the vice-versa that fails, accessing the hard drive on my laptop PC while sitting at my desktop.

On my laptop, Windows Firewall is "off" for private networks, and it considers my home network to be "private."
