Topic: User permissions - on XP workstation logged into SME as PDC

[timlitw]

I setup a new SME 7 server in the last few days - setup as a domain controller. It is working very well so far except. We do have one XP workstation that runs a mssql database program.  We need to make a share of the data folder so the client programs can connect to it.  When this machine is logged into the domain there is no share option - ie the user doesn't have permission to create a share.

Should I log in as admin and create the share? or is there a way to give the user those rights?

Hello,

Please... Create the users you need localy on your XP machine...

Ex: SME Domaine user (efreddy) = Windows XP local user (efreddy) !

Put the same password to...

And you should now have access to it ...

But that is why you use the domain contoller option - so users and authentication are managed by the domain instead of at each workstation.

I guess I'll have to go onsite and see if the domain user can be added to the power users or the administrators group on that workstation.
