Wierd Windows File Share Behavior
- by CT
Scratching my head awhile on this.
I'm on a Vista client trying to access a file share running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. Windows Active Directory Domain.
The shares I am trying to access:
\\Server1\FileShare1\Folder1\foo
and
\\Server1\FileShare1\Folder1\bar
The client does not have any permissions at Folder1. The client has read permissions at folders foo and bar.
In this example I can access \Server1\FileShare1\Folder1\foo but I get the following error when I try to access \Server1\FileShare1\Folder1\bar:
"Network Error: Windows cannot access \Server1\FileShare1\Folder1\bar. Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose"
I hit Diagnose. It returns with "Windows checked the path and '\Server1\FileShare1' is correct but 'Folder1' could not be found."
What is going on? It finds Folder1 fine when going to \Server1\FileShare1\Folder1\foo.
