Permission issue when accessing network share
We have just got our first two Windows 7 machines and have discovered that when trying to access our folders on our department drive our test users are getting access is denied. Further detail below:- Single 2003 native domain. testgroup1 - Domain Global testgroup2 - Domain Global user1 network share \\server\sharename\test\test2 user1 is a member of testgroup2 testgroup2 is a member of testgroup1 testgroup1 applied to folder \test - Permissions "List Folder/Read Data" - Apply To - "This folder only" testgroup2 applied to folder \test2 - Permissions "Full Control" - Apply To - "This folder, subfolders and files" user can not Browse folder \test - gets access denied if user puts \test\test2 into address bar they can then browse. The stopping block seems to be that first folder where the nested group is. this only happens on Windows 7 machines any users accessing on XP, 2000 and 2003 Server are fine. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. Thanks inadvance.

Hi, I would like to suggest you create and share a new folder to troubleshoot the issue. 1. Right click on the folder you want to share and click “Properties”. 2. Click the “Security” tab and “Edit” button. 3. Click “Add” button, type “Everyone” and click “Check Name” and “OK” button. 4. Highlight “Everyone”, check “Full Control” for “Allow” and click “OK”. 5. Click “Sharing” tab and “Advanced Sharing” button. 6. Check “Share this folder” box, click “Permissions” button. 7. If “Everyone” is listed, please highlight it and check “Full Control” for “Allow” 8. If “Everyone” is not listed, please click “Add” button, type “Everyone” and click “Check Name” and “OK” button. 9. After that, please repeat the Step 7. Does it work?
