I am running a Windows 2003 network. I have no problems with Windows XP
computers, they have been running fine for years with no issue. Today I put a Vista Ultimate computer on for the first time. The computer is joined to my domain, and I sign on as (domain) Administrator. I try to copy .exe files from the network to the Vista machine, but I always get the same error: 'There is a problem accessing '\\domain\d$'. Yes, I am connected with an administrative file share. Nothing shows up in the log, and no helpful information. I have no idea why Vista won't copy the file. It appears (so far) to be limited to exe files. I can copy other files without an issue. Since I am signed on with domain administrator, I should have full access. Just to be safe, I signed on to the server, and made sure the file was marked 'read' for 'everyone'. There is no obvious reason why this is failing. I copied the file to an XP desktop, then successfully copied it from that desktop to the Vista machine. So I can get the files to the Vista machine in that manner. I am connected via hard line, not wireless. Any ideas where I can go to troubleshoot this? |
