Windows 7 client cannot write to Server 2003 shared folders
Have a three server cluster. Server 2003 R2 SP2 is the DC. The other servers are Windows 2000 Server SP4 and a Windows Server Standard 2008 SP2 and are members of the domain. The domain and the servers have been up and running for years (2008 Server fewer years than the 2000 Server.) Everything has been fine untilsetting uptwonew client computerswith Windows 7 Professional.The Win 7 computers have been joined to the domain and can log on. They can see the other computers and servers on the domain and have drives mapped via the logon script to the 2003 Server (DC). The Windows 7 computers can see and copy files from the shared folders on the 2003 Server, but cannot create files. When the Windows 7 clients try to create a file they get the "Destination folder accdess denied" error.The Windows 7 computers can create files on the shared folders on the 2000 and 2008 servers. It is only the 2003 server that is causing the permission problems. The permissions have worked fine in the past and continue to work properly with XP and Vista clients.Drives in all servers are NTFS. Have compared network properties between servers. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, Firstly, you may check the permission and security settings on the Windows Server 2003 share to ensure that the user in Windows 7 has proper permission to write in the folder. If possible, you can create a new share folder on the Windows Server 2003 and see how it works. Nicholas Li - MSFT
