Cannot access shares on R2 from XP Workstations

Hi all,

Thank you for your help in advance. Little urgent as it is for my Police
Depart... the most demandging one

Here is the situation.

I have a R2 app server joined the domain. I can ping it by the name from a
pc. I also have XP workstation joined the domain here. DNS settings are
correctly setup on both clients and server. If I tried to access the R2 from
a workstation by typing \\WindowsR2\share_name (or just \\windowsR2), it
would tell you an error message saying The account is not authorized to log
in from this workstation. I believe the workstation is up-to-date. I think
this is the same to the R2 as well. What this happen? and how to solve it?

I make sure it is in a right OU.

One funny thing is that I have a laptop which is not joined the domain...
but just in a workgroup. But from there, I CAN access to the R2. After typing
in the \\windowsR2\sharename, it would pop up a logon windows then I typed in
my domain log on info and it would work.

Why?? Thank you for your help.

Hello,

did you remove the Start/run through GPO ?
Do you have the issue if mapping it as a network drive ?

As the same account work from an external computer, the only main difference
i see is GPO.

Did you change the default members of local group on the R2 ?
Is it in the same OU as others servers that work ?

Hi Mathieu,

Thank you very much for your response!! In fact, you are right. It was the
GPO issue. I moved it yesterday right after I just finished submitting the
question here.

Thank you very much again for your response!
