Hi sayed thanks for reply This is not a permission problems because all users have same rights .Everyone can access network drive from their laptop but only few users accessing network drive by clicking on folders button on the top(Folder toolbar) then they can access it from left panel,but if they double click on network drive then it says access is denied Rakesh Kumar

Hi, Please double check both sharing and NTFS permissions. After making sure both permission settings are correct, please also verify the LMCompatibilityLevel value and set it to 1.
