Hi there,

I have stumbled over the strangest thing. When I go to start/run and type in the users computer name and the $share admin (sms_user\c$) it prompts for a username and password. I then attempt to put in the admin domain account and it comes back denied. I went to his workstation and looked at his security settings and it appears that it should work. He can put in his creditials and it works fine. Any ideas? Also, he has a j partition that is setup with "everyone" access to it and it still prompts for a username and password.
 
1st ,,
try to log in on the workstation by the Admin user and password , and see if you can log or not ..

Of course it will ask for a user name or password even you make everyone access .. Because everyone means : Everyone who has account on the domain or everyone who has account on the workstation ,, So that I can't for example access your workstation from Here ! Eng.Mohamed Farid

Double check that the domain admin account has local admin on the PC.

When it ask's for a usename and password try typing in DOMAIN\DomainAdminUserName as the username and then the password.

For the J partition does the everyone group have full control for the Share permissions AND the NTFS permissions?

As a last resort you cna try removing the PC from the domain and adding it again. I have come accross similar problems with NT in the past and removing th SID an re-creating it usually fixes it.
