Hi, can you help?

Pc"A" has a service running and Joe bloggs is logged in as Administrator.
This service is running as a "system" service.
Joe Bloggs can log-in to the program behind this service.
This service is accessible though ports 20,000 30,000 and 8,000

Pc"B" has a folder shared with files that the service running on pc"A" needs
to get too.
This folder is shared with full control and permissions to Joe Bloggs.
Pc"B" has Joe Bloggs as a Administrator user.
Pc"B" has Mary logged on as Administrator.

When the service on Pc"A" , is a system service, the shared folder on Pc"B",
even though reachable and viewable though network places, can not be reached
by this service running on Pc"A".

When this service is logged as a Joe bloggs service, the shared Folder on
Pc"B" can be accessed by the running service but Joe bloggs can not log-in
to the program behind this service!

Confused dot com, lol
Anyone?

Enable auditing of privilege use for failure on the computer where the
access problem is occurring in Local Security Policy and then look in the
security log to see if the user has a lack of needed user rights as
evidenced by events for failure for privilege use and also look for logon
event failures that may provide a clue as to what the problem is. The other
things I would check is to make sure all users are using passwords and they
have access permissions for both share and folder [NTFS] permissions. It may
help to temporarily give everyone access to share and folder [NTFS]
permissions to see if that works. If it does the user has lack of
permissions based on current users/group permissions. --- Steve
