Hi,

Since our recent domain controller migration from NT to Win2k3 R2 we cannot
get acess any longer to the Properties/Sharing of any files/folders even as
Domain Administrator, unless we open a session locally on the machine on
which we want to manage any sharing...

Ex : a shared folder on computer X can only be controlled using a
administrator connection open locally (either as domain administrator or
local machine administrator) but cannot be controlled from a session open on
any other machine connected to the network even if the folder apperas in the
explorer on this machine (right clic on this folder then Properties only
displays the "General" & "Security" options)

Thanks a lot in advance for any answer, it's a drag !

AFAIK, that's normal. You can use RDP to connect to your server console to
do your admin - unless you're talking about shares on workstations, but
that's really not good to use anyway (all data should be on your server &
shared from there). You shouldn't need to modify/work on your sharing all
that much after you've set up your server.
