ntfs permissions for this folder are full access for
"everyone", and as far
as logging on to a client machine for the event viewer goes,
i have
nothing...today i just got too frustrated with it and decided
to start over
(it is a new setup and we are a small company...only 20 users)
and i just
deleted all of my users and recreated them with the same
settings and
everything worked...i have no clue what went wrong, but i am
glad to be
getting back on track. Thank you so very, very much for your
time and help.
I really appreciate it!
