Yes, I did not mention, all the machines trying to access my share are XP and 2K. None of them can do it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system\
create new DWORD Value: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
assign value 1 to LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
restart machine

EDIT: that's for your Vista machine...

That did not fix it 2bighorn. None of the local XP/2K boxes on the same workgroup can access my share. I even added 'Everyone' to the permissions list, along with the workgroup. Still does not work.

Also, I cannot execute a program on any remote computer. Vista says I do not have persmission. I am the admin on the computer and have included my user account in the admin group as well. The right-click and "Run As admin" option does not allow the remote executable to run either.

I can access all remote shares from Vista, except for the 'Program Files' directory on any of the shares.

Ok, after spending more time reading about UAC, it is clear that my Vista system will not be able to share with any other computer on our network until everyone else upgrades to Vista.

UAC is not going to allow unregulated sharing to occur and there is no way to completely remove UAC from Vista.

According to Microsoft, the only way to do what I need to do is to install a Microsoft Systems Management server on our network.

Any of you clever folks found a way around this? I have been beating my head against the wall.

Sorry it didn't work out. It works for me, although my vista test rig is member of the domain, so that might make a difference.

You wouldn't need SMS if you already have 2003 server as a domain controller.

Anyways, you can disable UAC if it causes too much trouble.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
create Dword key EnableLUA and give it value of 0

I already had that set to 0. Still not able to access any Vista share from an XP or 2K machine.

This one has me stymied.

I guess I need to hit TechNet with this one.

Check all the Group Policies. If they are set to use UAC, Vista will ignore anything else and stick with UAC.

Anyways, now I got curious myself. Gotta play some with Vista shares. I'll let you know if I find something.

Oh yeah, if it were only that simple. I'll get back on it tomorrow.

Skuzzy,

My Vista (home premium) wont load AH....I use my XP system so not an issue but obviously eventually vista is going to be only supported. what do you need, how to I begin to trouble shoot. I loaded the latest Nvida driver (in XP so think i'll need to reboot to run what I need for you anyway....

humble · « **Reply #40 on:** April 22, 2007, 05:03:37 PM »

Hmmm....

System now runs AH (didnt do a thing)....

My system seemlessly integrated with my "workgroup" which is obviously not a domain. So workgroup functionality is there across OS...

Skuzzy · « **Reply #41 on:** April 23, 2007, 06:05:05 AM »

Everyone can see my Vista machine, but no one can access it (workgroup, no domain). I can access anyone else's share from the Vista machine (except thier 'Program Files' folder, even if it is shared).

I kinow it has to do with one of the services I have shut down. Poasibly somehting to do with UAC. I have not had a chance to chase this one down yet.

humble · « **Reply #42 on:** April 23, 2007, 12:45:49 PM »

I can access and be accessed...as I go thru shutting services down i'll check access each time. If I hit it before you find it i'll post. I noticed BTW I can run AH fine 1 time...it dumps when I try to access it again. If I reboot in vista problem remains (what happened originally)...but if I reboot in XP then I can load AH 1st time thru in vista again...

Too bad MS removed the ability to make/boot with a different hardware profile in Vista. That sucks.

Skuzzy · « **Reply #44 on:** April 23, 2007, 04:58:06 PM »

I know for sure it is a configuration issue. I think I might have to come in and just start from scratch with a fresh OS install and find where it goes wrong from there.

I know I need to be able to stop most of the stuff running or I will never be able to play the game on this computer. My frame rates with a fresh install did well to hit 50, and hung around in the 30's when a plane came into view.

After cleaning up the mess, I stay pretty solid at 75.

OT: Did you guys see that MS has granted an extension for OEM's to continue to provide XP for another year? And 2 years for the small builders.
