Re: Odd file access problem



I installed an additional domain controller on our network today. Our
network was Windows 2003, I upgraded it to windows 2003 R2 for the new
controller.

I encounter a strange problem. When I try to run an executable from the
network on that machine I get the following error:
"windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

So I concluded this is some security measure in explorer.exe for
Windows 2003 R2 domain controllers (since I dont have the problem on
another R2 machine (terminal server).

any thoughts on this?

Some antivirus programs such as McAfee Virusscan have a feature that can do
this... any chance it's the antivirus program on the client or maybe the
server?

Thanks for the response.

The server is not running any anti-virus, fresh install right out of
the box. I tried to access executables on some other computers which
don't have anti-virus, still no luck.

I logged file access and there are no problems on the file server. no
errors are logged at the client.
