Network error mystery - Windows cannot access \\server\users when you use the netbios name, but works fine when you use the full domain name.

• Ent of Windows 7. Apart from 2012 - Windows cannot access \\server\share$

  I have a treatment of strange problem with part of 2012 R2.  We have a lab with 30 workstations Windows 7 Enterprise.  They all have the same office via a redirection of folder GPO applied to a share on the server of 2012 R2 mentioned above.  All but 4 of them can connect and pull on the desktop the appropriate shortcuts, network folders, etc.

  The share permissions so no denies explicit.  In an effort to solve this problem, I added everyone and authenticated users, with read permissions on top of the appropriate ad group object that already had read permissions and, of course, SYSTEM and with full control Domain Admins.  NTFS permissions have, of course, CREATOR OWNER, SYSTEM and with full control Domain Admins.  Also, the appropriate ad group has read permissions.  No NTFS clear or rejects the request.

  Using the same account that belongs to the appropriate group or my domain administrator account (which has no office redirected) I can connect to all the workstations and all, but the four mentioned above get the redirected folder desktop.  When I authenticate my account with DA and try to connect to the share on these four computers I get the same error to the user:

  Network error

  Windows cannot access \\SERVER\Share$

  You are not allowed to access \\SERVER\Share$.  Contact your network administrator to request access.

  I think we've all seen this error before.  But I only saw him associated with NTFS permission issues or sharing.  Frankly I'm perplexed.  Any ideas on what's going on?

  Edited to add: I don't think it's a problem with sharing.  Clearly, it's a matter of workstation since 26 of 30 machines Win 7 can be connected without difficulty.  And I don't think it's a matter of profile either since I've never authenticated on these workstations with my domain account.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

  Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

  The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

  I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

  I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

  I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

  I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

  The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

  Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

  Update for Microsoft Windows KB2563227

  A security update for the Microsoft.net framework 4 client profile (verson 1)

  There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

  I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

  As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

  I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

  Thank you.

  My solution works in about 2 minutes, it's a very weird error and only happened to 3 jobs in the last 3 years, this solution does not need to create another account if local administrator is active and allows access to the corrupt user documents ect.

  Log in as the local administrator or a domain administrator

  If the local administrator is not activated refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910 and after completing these newspapers of steps on the local administrator account.

  Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

  If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

  Go to AppData\Local

  Select all (Ctrl + a).

  Delete

  * Do not delete credentials (as it will remove their wallpaper) *.

  This allows to release the error.
