Vista to Server 2003 shared folders

Hi all, and thanks for looking in advance...

I have a Domain ("MX") with users.

In the domain, several computers exist, amonst which some Virtual
Server 2005's, some Vista Ultimates (one called "EX") on physical
boxes, and a Windows Server 2003 (named: "TX") on a physical box.

The virtual- or non-virtual nature of the boxes doesn't matter to my
question, I believe.

When I try to access the shared folders on TX from EX, while logged in
as a Domain User on EX, I get an error that my rights aren't correct.
When I log into EX as the Domain Administrator, I *can* access my
folders (as desired).

Now, I'd guess I need to make some changes in my permission settings
on TX, but the 'everyone' users have all rights enabled.

What's going wrong? Can anyone tell me? Or suggest some tool I can use
to trace my problem?

Thanks again,
Tobias

Tobias.

When you say that Everyone has all rights enabled is that the NTFS
permissions or the Share permissions? I have Ultimate accessing shares
on a 2003 server with no problems using Everyone - Full Control against
the Share and Everyone - Read NTFS permissions against the directories
within the share.

Tx for the reply.

Turns out that my coworker didn't correctly move it from the old to
the new domain server. Humming like a kitten now.

Funny what a small step like that creates these problems ;-)

Good to hear that you resolved the issue
