gui_m Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Hi. I've been setting up a fileserver on XP Pro and so far it's been fine. I have 6 PCs, each with unique usernames and passwords so I could configure permissions for each PC in the house. I added a 7th PC and did the same procedure and when I try to add all the users into this 7th PC and set permission for them, it doesn't work.On this 7th PC, I added the six other usernames with same password as on the remote machines. I disabled simple file sharing and when I went to set permissions for the created users I get a "Name not found error":I know that the user 'Lakani' is created properly in the local machine because I can even log-in the local machine using the user name. Here you can see that the user 'Lakhani' which i tried to set permissions for, does exist in the local machine:I get the same error message even when I try to set permissions for the default user name that I'm logged-in to!What I think could be causing this is some removed component of disabled service I may have removed accidently as the PC has a customized nLite installation of XP. What missing services/components could be causing this? Any ideas of how to fix? Thanks Edited August 24, 2006 by gui_m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptMurphy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Don't you have to put the domain/pc name before the name? For instance, if you're in domain MSHOME, the object name would be MSHOME/Lakhani. Or if the PC's name is HOME, the object name would be HOME/Lakhani. I'm pretty sure it's like this.

gui_m Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Nope I've always done it this way and it worked fine on all the other machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
