Newly deployed Windows 7 workstations cannot access Windows server 2003 file shares
We are rolling out Windows 7 workstations. Users are having issues accessing folders that they used to be able to. We checked the permission carefully at the folder and share level and all looks right. Any suggestions as to how to fix.
The server we are accessing is Windows server 2003.

There are several procedures that may help:
1. Force W 7 to use SMB 1 instead of SMB 2:
sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
(Return path
sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc config mrxsmb20 start= auto
)
2. Autotuning
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
3. Heuristics
netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
4. Is this workgroup or Active Directory?
5. It is helpful to analyze network traffic (eg. Wireshark)

Milos,
So I assume we would run this on the fileserver sharing up the files/folders?
This is AD not workgroup.
One note of interest, if we provide the user Domain Admin privledges (temporaily) the problem goes away
Thanks,
Chris ...
