Share permissions: SBS and Windows 2003 in the same domain

[Guest]

Hi.

I've got a SBS 2003 Premium server (running ISA too) controlling a small
network domain (company.local). Sometime ago a second server has been added
to the network: a Windows 2003 Server R2. It was included in the SBS domain
and it's for application development purposes. So far everything has been
working ok. Until now. I now have the following problem (not sure if it's a
ISA problem or a SBS one or even 2003):

If I login to the development server using my domain administrator account
(the administrator account of the company.local domain) and then try to set
user permissions on any share, I can't change the "location" to choose users
from the domain. I can only select local users. The funny thing is that I've
done this before with other shares and never had any problem. But now for
some reason I can't. In the "location" button all I see is the name of the
development server and there's no way to select the company.local domain to
select users other than the local ones. If I try to set permissions on the
share directory by acccessing through the network from the SBS then I can set
all the permissions I want. But in the development server itself I can't.

Please help.

Thank you,
Carlos.

Doesn't make sense. Are you sure you're not logging into a local
administrator account with the same username/password?

Hi Kurt.

No. The SBS's administration account is totally different from the
development server's administration account. The usernames and passwords are
all different. No chance of any confusion there...
