Cannot edit script files directly from SYSVOL folder

Hi,

We recently changed our PDC and when we access the scripts folder under SYSVOL using a domain admin account, whenever we try to change a script we are getting Access Denied error.

I have given Domain Admins group full permissions + ownership but problem persists. We did not use to have such problem using old DC server before.

To be fair we are able to launch Notepad as admin and open a batch file and be able to edit but its more convenient for us if we are able to do it directly.

Will await your replies. Thanks

Hi,

This defeats the purpose which I want, ie, right click a bath file and click on edit. Then will be able to save the changes.

Hi,

Before going further, would you please tell how many DCs do you have?
Did all of them have the same issue?
When you check the permission on the sysvol folder, did you confirm the share permission?

Best Regards,

Did you check everything works well in your domain?
Dcdiag /v >c:\dcdiag1.log
Repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt
Repadmin /showreps *

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. All tests that I did passed but got stuck on the last one, ie, repadmin /showreps * since it gave me an error "LDAP error 81 (Server Down) Win32 Err 58"

Is this a problem?
