Shortcut to Map Drive does not work

cuser · 10-09-2005, 02:34 PM

Hi,
I have a win 2003 SBS with 4 users. I have a program which requires a shared map drive. My clients shared drive works good and the program works good. However on the local computer and when log in as administrator, I can not access the program or such drive. It gives me and error that the drive might not have the right path or access privillages would not let me access the drive.
How come I am the adminstrator? I also tried adding and maping a drive on the local computer with different drive letter but the same results.
I have checked the users and they work good form other computers but how come the local computer is not letting me access the program since i am using the server as the administrator?

Please help, this is too weired, what am i missing, any help is appreciated.

Note: the program was working fine on Thursday and for 3 weeks, Friday on my last hrs I discovered this problem, so it worked good before

Thank U,
cuser

You must authenticate to the Domain, not to local machine (log on with a domain account rather than the local administrator account)
