[WinPartners] Permissions in XP

[Kerem B Limon]

Barbara--

Two questions...

1) Is he using Simple File Sharing (look at the last entry under Folder 
Options in the Control Panel)?

2) Is the machine actually a member of the domain? That is, when you say he 
"logs into the domain at work", do you mean he does this from the login 
dialog on the machine or using a batch file or a net use, for instance?

If the machine is a member of the domain, then when setting the 
permissions, you will need to connect to the DC to get the list of 
users--for some reason, I've seen 2000 and XP not use your existing 
credentials when using some MMC-like interfaces, such as those for setting 
file/folder permissions.

I can elaborate if necessary.
