edit permissions remotely

Hello,

I want to edit user permissions on a Windows 2003 Server (Standard Edition),
remotely from a Windows XP SP2 machine in the same LAN (and same workgroup)
There is no domain, hence it is a peer-to-peer network, W2K3 acts as a file
and print server and as NAT server via RRAS.

I logon to my XP with an account that has administrator privileges on both
XP (workstation) and W2K3 (server). I can browse, modify files etc. on all
the folders located on the server ...but as soon as I want to edit security
as follows:

Right mouse on a share\properties\security\add\advanced\find now a network
password is asked for. In the first place why is it asking for this? I am
already connected with the needed credentials. Next when I enter 'my
username' and 'my password' + OK the next error message appears in the
location where the found items should appear:

"The following error prevented the display of any items:
Multiple connections to a server or shared ressource by the same user, ar
not allowed.
Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared ressource and ry
again ... "

When I enter 'my username' and 'my password' it is the same as the one which
I am already logged on with, I suppose that's why it sees multiple
connections by the same user .... but during another session is entered
'Administrator' and 'admin password' which it accepts, but the same error
message appears.

I don't understand why this happens at all, if anyone can explain this
situation I would be thankful.

Thanks for any help.

Try using net use /d from a command to clear all your mapped connections. You can also disconnect the mapped drive in Windows Explorer by right-click the mapped drive and select disconnection.

Hello Giuseppe, thanks for your answer.

First I want to remark that this behavior also happens from my laptop or another machine in the network that has no mapped drivers/printers or anything, hence I'm not sure that this could be the reason.

Secondly when running net use /d as you describe nothing happens apart from "The synthax for this command is ....." followed by some examples.
I suppose the /d option is not understood.

Does this mean that it is not possible to edit permissions remotely when drives are mapped? With W2K server this was no problem.

Thanks for your help
