Domain Problems

[praymond]

I setup a Win2K Domain Server, and am using XPPro on a laptop. When I login to the Domain, I cannot access some files on my laptop (in public folders), unless I logout and login to the Laptop. I am setup as members of all admin groups on the Domain. According to the security screen, I show as having all rights including read/write, but these files show as "read only" and I cannot open/edit them. What could be causing my problem?
Thanks
Paul

Make sure your domain ID is a member of a domain group. Logically, that's true.

Then make sure that domain group is a member of the Local Administrators group on the laptop. Only Domain Admins are automatically added to the Local Admins group. So, Domain Users have restricted rights on the domain workstation. This is most likely your problem.

If you're still having the problems, take ownership of the files while logged in with your domain ID and set the permissions as you wish.

If you are still having problems, then give some specific details.

Thanks. I'm in the process of updating the laptop now but will try what you suggest and let you know.
Cheers and Thanks
