Here's the situation: I have a drive mapped on my XP machine at work, where we're using Novell. Our server team has set up a cifs share so we can map the drives in explorer. The J: drive is \\Pdxshrn104c\shr04\Eng. XP can access is fine, but on vista I get an access denied error. NOTE: Our server team won't help me because they don't support Vista. I would use XP but we can't find 64bit drivers for this machine.
More details: If I type in \Pdxshrn104c\shr04\Eng in explorer on XP, I see all the subfolders I have access to (and I can't see the folders I don't have access to). Then, again, if I browse to one of the lower level folders, I can get to another set of folders I have access to. In Vista, I get "access denied" for ENG and the next level of subfolders.
In Vista if I type in a path to a lower level folder which I have full read/write access to (we grant folder permissions at the sub-folder level using Novell), then Vista can access it.
Any ideas? I've contacted Microsoft, and their only solution is to grant full read/write permission to \\Pdxshrn104c\shr04\Eng. This is impossible as we have sensitive information that should not be accessed by everyone.
