I have a Windows 2003 Standard Server that has Main drive that contains Windows 2003 Server and all programs installed on it. I have a Raid 5 with 3 scsi drives that holds all my data files. This Drive is drive e: If I go to the properties of main drive I have a security tab. If I go to a folder and go to properties it doesn't have a security tab. Any folder I go to on either drive doesn't have security tab.

Both drives are NTFS. The drive is setup as a dynamic disk. I have compared to another server that works fine and the only difference I see is the other server is setup as a basic disk and not dynamic. Not sure if this could be a problem.

I have tried the following.
Using windows to create a share.
regsvr32 rshx32.dll
Verifying permissions of rshx32.dll
Checking Active Directory to make sure Advanced Features were checked.

Any help would be appreicated. I am trying to share quickbooks company file on this server. Only one person can access it without getting an error. I did check opportunistic locking and that didn't solve the problem.

Please help
 
Windows 2003 Server does not have simple file sharing because it is part of the domain. I did find that only the main folders in the drive do not have security tab. If I go in farther then a security tab is there.

 
Have you tried viewing the Security Tab logged on as a different user? Can you view the Security Tab on those folders if you browse from, say, a Windows XP client?
 
I have tried logging in as 3 different users with 2 of them having admin rights. I also tried to create a new user but that didn't work either.

Can't see it by browsing from an xp computer either.
 
Was your server built on a fat32 partition?

Hey check group policy:
configuration -> administrative templates -> Windows components ->
Windows explorer ->
Remove Security Tab

Or run cacls \windows\system32\rshx32.dll
so we can see the perms on this file.

Do you have tabs on folders not on the root?
