I am having a rather odd problem. Hopefully someone here can help.
Setup: 1 Windows 2008 Standard Server, all updates applied. No AD. Just performing simple peer file sharing. 1 Windows 7 Ultimate Workstation.
- Both machines are in the same Workgroup
- User account created on the server and workstation, same name and password.
- User account is in the Administrators group on the server and workstation.
- Networks shares on the server are setup Everyone Change + Read.
- File level permissions are Administrators and System Full Control. Users Read only. CREATOR OWNER Full control.
- User is not in the Users group or any restricting group with less permissions.
- Ownership of all files and folders is Administrators group.
Problem:
When I map a network drive from the workstation to the server share and try to modify files on the network share then save the file I get an access denied message. how is this possible when I am using Administrator level access? It's extremely frustrating. I have set this up on Windows 2003 Server dozens of times with no issues.. am I missing a new step?
Thanks,
HumbleSage
