I've encountered a problem on Windows 7. I have a shared folder created by an installer and I can't access it by the share name
\\[machine_name]\[shared_folder_name]
Here are a few more details.
- The computer is registered in a domain.
- The user I log in with is a domain user added into the Administrators group
- The shared folder has full rights set up for the Administrators group of the local machine
I have no problem accessing the real folder on disk, but when I try to access it with the share name I get the following error
You do not have permission to access \\[machine_name]\[shared_folder_name]. Contact your network administrator to request access.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.

Are there any other NTFS permissions set that may be denying domain users or any other group your user account may be a part of.
Remember that deny's always override allow's.
