DVD/CD access over network

Malt_Vinegar · 13 Feb 2007 at 12:34

Currently got a problem when im trying to access a dvd from a users machine when on a server.
The server does not have a DVD drive, and i need to access the installation from the DVD drive.

I have shared the drive, added permissions to the drive for my account. The share works fine from the users machine.

I am getting "Access is denied"

Any ideas, what am i missing, it must be something silly!!

Check the following is not enabled:

Open Local Security Policy > Computer configuration > Windows settings > Security settings > Local policies > Security options > Devices: Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged-on user only.

When you say added permissions, what exactly did you add?

make sure the ntfs permissions and the share permissions allow you access

Cheers peepsfor the suggestions!

Coxey, this looks to be the problem, the restriction is enabled, but i dont have the option to change it!?

I take it this is a group policy thing, presumably i need to edit it there?
