    Cannot access a drive on a Win 10 Home device from domain Win 10 PC


    I have had to reinstall W 10 Pro on my desktop PC bound to a Windows Server network. It now won't open a shared drive on my W 10 Home laptop. when I bring it into the office. Both are patched to the latest update.

    The laptop has two drives (less call them C: and E: shared. The device is visible to network browsing but won't allow access instead throwing up a "network error - you do not have permissions" error. Curiously, while neither drive will open using the domain name, the second drive (E: will open via 'add network location' using its IP address.
    The login account on the laptop is a Microsoft one (so uses an email address as login ID) but I have added a local login and this doesn't work either. I've checked network sharing and tried it with and without factors like PIN logins enabled.

    I've also tried accessing the share via NET USE commands but while these claimed to complete successfully, this didn't, in the end, result in an actual connection.

    This feels like a permission issue which would normally be negotiated via a login challenge box where I could enter the local UID/Password for the laptop - but no such dialog box will open and I have run out of ideas.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Windows 10 Cannot Reach Network Share

    I have a situation where a Win 10 PRO PC cannot access file share on a Win 7 PC. Prior to upgrading to Win 10 PRO this PC was Win 8.1 and could access the share in question.

    PC1: Win 7 Pro with shared drives A, C, not joined to a domain, homegroup OFF, WORKGROUP,

    PC2 Win 7 Pro, joined to a work domain that is it not on, homegroup OFF,

    PC3 Win 10 Pro, shared drive C, not joined to a domain, homegroup OFF, WORKGROUP. I did a clean upgrade from Win 8.1 to Win 10 - initially I could mount PC1 A as a drive, but now I get a disconnected error,

    All PCs are connected by a simple Telco router. Please take careful note: PRO version of all OSs.

    PC1 - can access the files on PC3

    PC2 - can access the files on both PC1 and PC3

    PC3 - cannot access the files on PC1 (P2 has no shared files/drives). I get the error - MS Windows Network: Logon failure: the use had not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
    I'm using the exact same credentials that I use on PC2 to gain access. One of the recent updates to Win 10 has created a logon problem. Prior to late December 2015 I could get see A,C on PC2 but there were intermittent problems.
    Since the last week no access at all. MS has been pushing a lot of updates.

    PC3 - If I go to This PC > Network I can still see the old mapped drive but everything is greyed out. It's like there is a cache or something that I can't get flushed.

    Any ideas?

  3. Homegroup problems in Windows 10

    Windows 10 Home Build 10240. Updated from Win 7. Entered Homegroup password and system set up Homegroup. My 3 other Win 7 systems can see/access/modify the Win 10 system drives with no problem. The Win 10 system cannot access or see the drives on the
    Win 7 systems. All these systems are on a wired network.

    Cannot access a drive on a Win 10 Home device from domain Win 10 PC

    Welcome to the forum. It's not clear the exact state. Have you shared all c and e or folders? There will be permissions on the share and then on NTFS I am guessing that as the PC user has changed being a rebuild even if the name is the same it will have different sid.

    OK - I have shared both C: and E:. C: is the boot drive (SSD) and E: is a 128 GB 'thumbdrive'. AFAICT, permissions are identical on both shares. Both are NTFS formatted. The laptop cannot be joined to the domain (as it's running W10 Home) so a remote login has to use the local permissions on the laptop. This worked no problemo for the E: drive and not at all for the C: drive.

    The rebuild on the PC and change of SID is, I think, not a relevant factor. There have been some security changes on the PC since I clean installed W10 Pro on it. It had been previously upgraded from W7 an inherited some of the security configuration from that (e.g. I now can't synchronise the PC with my Microsoft account as this is mysteriously blocked by W10 unless it's an upgrade)
