My client has a peer-to-peer network with several XP
machines, some W98, one W2K Pro. Another machine, which
they listed as "server," which ran W2K Pro, has two hard
drives. One runs the OS, the other runs applications. I am
moving the client to a client/server network with W2K
Advanced Server with AD on the "server." I had some
problems setting up AD, so reloaded W2K AS with DNS but
without AD. Disconnected second drive in the process.
Checked w/tech support of the vertical program client is
using; it makes no hooks to the OS. After setting up AS,
reconnected the second drive. When this machine was W2K
Pro, the program ran fine as user from the XP machines.
Program still runs fine from XP machines when logged in as
administrator. If logged in as user, program starts to
load, claims a file is not found, and bombs. If I list the
user as an administrator on the W2K AS machine, program
runs fine on their login on the XP machine. W2K is running
update 3, XP has update 1. Any suggestions?
 
By reinstalling the OS you may have inadvertently changed the group member
ship on the server. Check file permissions on the files\folders that the
application accesses. Then check the share permissions.
You can also use filemon from www.sysinternals.com
