Question : Adding additional server ito SBS2003 system - cannot see shared files on additional server
I have a Proliant ML370 running SBS2003 R2. I added an additional server running WinServer 2003 to my network, carefully following the instructions in "
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding and Managing Additional Servers"
in a WinSBS Network as listed below. I set up two Shares on the new server with administrative permissions. The two servers see each other but I cannot get to any of the files on the added server (name=
fileserver
) from any other computers. If I am logged in as Administrator to any workstation or the SBS server, click on Add a New Network Connection and go to Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network/MyDomainName,
fileserver
is listed in the list, but when clicked on, it shows no file folders listed under it.
I can do the following:
1. Connect to
fileserver
and all other workstations and server via RWW
2. From
fileserver
: Connect to all shared files on server and other workstations
From
server
or other workstations:
fileserver
is listed in the domain through My Network Places
1. When clicked on under Add Network Place, hourglass hangs a while, then stops with no expansion of the tree under
fileserver
.
2. Under My Network Places, clicking on Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network and then expanding my domain name,
fileserver
is listed, but when clicked on, again hangs a while, then shows error message: (“\\fileserver is not accessible. You may not have permission to use the network resource. Contact your administrator..... The network path was not found.”)
Appears to be a Permissions issue, but after several tries, have not been able to find the problem.
Thanks for your assistance.
