Hi there,
I run a small server based network for my home and office.
We use roaming profiles and home directory.

A few days after I had set the network up, I think I managed to slightly muck up ll the users and groups (or something.) Because I was no longer able to access any of the user profiles (even though they load on login), and folders like the system volume information folder.

Once these were sorted, for just one day I was allowed back into these folders (using the administrator account.) The next morning I came back in (I had'nt touched anything on the server, logged of or anything) and I was receiveing the access denied message again!!

Any ideas what I could do please??

(p.s this message comes up both locally on the server, and while trying to access it via the network share.)

Many Thanks.

If It's not broken, Don't fix it!

Did you take ownership of the folders, and do you know how to properly setup user shares, accounts, and roaming profiles?

Life's more painless for the brainless.

hi there,
no, yes, yes, and yes!

Could you please inform me about taking ownership of the files? How would doing this effect the user rights?

many thanks.
