If I follow you, you're saying create a group at the domain level and add a user from a workstation into the domain group?
I already have a group that has access for other reasons, when I attempt to add \\pc1\user I get name is not valid. I could add the computer object, \\pc1, but the application is not using the system account. I don't know how to add a local machine user to a domain group. -----Original Message----- From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 1:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Can \\pc1\user has rights to \\pc2\share\folder1? Hmmmm, could you not just make a group that has the required rights to the share, and then explicitly add the local user from PC1 to the group ? -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Wimberly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 12:58 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Can \\pc1\user has rights to \\pc2\share\folder1? I have been able to duplicate the 'problem' so here is a more detailed "user" issue: I am also a member of Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins in our forest. We have a simple forest with only one domain. When I log into \\pc1 with full rights, I map a drive to \\SERVER1\Share and right click "folder1" to gain properties I can click ADD to add a user or group to the security rights list, and then click on LOCATIONS to pick users from a specific location. In the results I see the server hosting the share, SERVER1, and the AD structure. NOT the local \\pc1 as a choice. I am told that I should see the local computer as a choice and be able to select users that are local to the local computer. Is that correct? The account in question is the IUSR_pc1, which is a web user that needs to write code to the file share. -----Original Message----- From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 12:45 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Can \\pc1\user has rights to \\pc2\share\folder1? Are you *sure* the user is part of the lcoal PC1 security and NOT part of the Domain logging in from PC1 ? -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Wimberly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 12:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Can \\pc1\user has rights to \\pc2\share\folder1? If I am on a computer, call it "\\pc1" and map a drive to \\SERVER1\share could I then right click a sub folder to the mapped drive, call it \\SERVER1\share\folder1 and look at the properties for the folder1, ADD a user or group and then click LOCATIONS to add local users from \\pc1, the computer I am locally logged into? Both SERVER1 and pc1 are in the same windows domain. I have a coworker that tells me he has had this setup for years and Friday it suddenly stopped working, and now pc1 is no longer an option when clicking on LOCATIONS to add users or groups. He wants me to fix it so that \\pc1\user can have security rights to \\SERVER1\share\folder1. How is SERVER1 going to know anything about a local user on a remote machine?
