Hi guys, I am working with win2003 as a server and several machines access files from this server. For along time i have been able to map a shared folder on client machines. but recently i have had a problem When i try to access this folder from a client machine - it asks me the user name and pswd and it connects, but when i map the folder and try to access it, i get an access denied error. I have tried mapping other folders on the server and they dont give me the error. Its only this one folder behaving this way. Other machines that had this folder mapped earlier on are just ok and allowing access. So am puzzled. What is wrong. any advice will be highly appreciated
Delete all the shares in that computer if I remember the command is net share * /del then re-map your shared folders with an account that has username and password i.e. Net share j: \\pathhere\folder$ <file://pathhere/folder$>/username:username password regards, On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 12:14 PM, Michael Omondi <michaelomondi@gmail.com>wrote:

Probably a licensing restriction. You might have reached the limit of Client machines that can access a shared resource. Try removing the share from one of the older clients, then create the share in the new client and see whether it works. --- On Tue, 9/8/09, Michael Omondi <michaelomondi@gmail.com> wrote: From: Michael Omondi <michaelomondi@gmail.com> Subject: [Skunkworks] Access denied on server 2003 To: "Skunkworks forum" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Date: Tuesday, September 8, 2009, 12:14 PM Hi guys, I am working with win2003 as a server and several machines access files from this server.
