Hi. I have a windows 2003 Standard (SP2) and windows XP (SP2) Laptops. I have several folders on the server that I share on the network. Users can access those folders from the client PC but cannot edit files. They get the "disk is full or write protected" error, even though FULL access is granted. If I give full access to the user under "Security" tab as well then user can edit files. Any ideas how to fix this issue? Is AD or ACL corrupt and how to repair it? Thanks

It seems to me that you might not understand file sharing?

There are two types of permissions that you deal with, when sharing files.

share permissions & NTFS permissions

share permissions determine whether or not you can
see the item on the network
NTFS permissions determine whether or not you can
read/modify the file

You can read this article, for a description of this issue.

If this is not your problem, then I apologize.

Just to clarify:  Your intention is apparently to share
files, but you must grant permission in both places,
in order to get the results that you want.

Best Practice:
share:  everyone - full control
NTFS:  whatever permissions you want the
groups/users to have
