Access Denied

[Steve Amiro]

Hi,

We have 3 Win2000 Server SP4 on the network. 2 Members and 1 DC. I sometime
have to fix my collegue computers and want to use resources on the network
like shares folders and Internet access. Because the employes PC don't need
to be part of the Domain, I connect to servers by typing the server name in
the run box like \\servername.
Then a logon windows shows up and requires a domain user name. I type in a
username and can see and access all available shares on the server. This
works fine on member servers but doesn't on the DC? I got the following :
\\servername is not accessible....Rights...Please contact.... and then
Access Denied.
How can I make this work on the DC since I have to access share files? I
don't understand why by provinding a username and a password, I manage to
connect to member servers but this one won't even let me go further in the
connecting process. This DC replaced a another one a while ago and on the
olf one, I could access it that way! I took a look at DC and Domain Security
policy and can't figured out if there is anything wrong.

How can I fix this please?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried specifying a full share name, e.g.

\\ServerName\ShareName

Thanks for replying,

Yes I did try that and didn't work!

Hi,

By disabling the guest account, it solved the problem!

Thanks for the feedback - I was not aware of this one.
If this was my machine then I'd find out who enabled
the guest account. This is a strict no-no for a server!
