Windows 7 wont let me into domain shares I have permission to
Okay, so heres the problem.I have a typical windows 2003 server domain controller with your typical users and groups.I have a folder that windows 7 will not grant me access to when I give permission to the group Users, which my login is a member of.The weird part is that some people in the group work. These are the people with Macs and winXP. Also, if i were to add my user account directly to the permission of the share, it works in Win7.Why would it make a difference whether I was in a group or not in the permissions?Of course, this is not a practical fix for a large corporate network. I'm hoping this isn't a bug and I'm just missing a setting.P.S. it does it with all groups and all users. its a Win7 problem.Thanks

When logged in as a the domain user start a cmd.exe and run the command "whoami /groups". This will display any group that the currently logged in user is a member of. If the user is a member of the group that has permission on the share/filesystem the user should be able to access the files.

Where are the shared folders located? On one of the domain computers or in a network storage?
I suggest you change the NTLM authentication level. You may the following article.
Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
Please change the level to “Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”.
