I'm helping out a friend of mine who tries to support a small shop, and the shop is starting to get Windows 7 Pro. machines. They have a domain setup, and they are trying to map a network drive back to a file server. This file server has several folders on it.
What is strange is the Windows XP Pro machines can map a drive to \\myserver\common without an issue, but if you do this on a Windows 7 Pro machine you get "Access is Denied." Now on the Windows 7 machine if you "browse" through Windows explorer by \\myserver\common you can see the folders on the file server, and the kicker is if you want to map a drive to this file server from Windows 7 you have to do it one folder deeper. (e.g. net use s: \\myserver\common\abc123 ) This would become a hassle if you have to access several folders off of the "common" share. Are there any registry "tweaks" on the Windows 7 machine that need to be done? Or would there need to be something done on the server side?
