Hello,
I have Windows Server 2016 for users. I'm also using Server 2012 for Active Directory. I've set all the usual permissions required to allow a new user to access a network location, and, I've added the user to the Active Directory group that should allow them access.
However, the new users are unable to access the network drive. The old users are able to access the drives they already had access to, but can't access new locations they've recently been given permission.
I've tried everything I can think of - something else is probably wrong now.
The other day, I tried to connect to the 2012 Server (Active Directory) using the hostname and got an error that mentioned that time sync could be off, or was out of sync. It allowed me to connect using the IP address instead of the hostname. Now, it's allowing me to connect using the hostname again. I've tried restarting all of the servers.
I'm wondering if it's the time synchronization between the two servers? The clock shows the same time, but I'd like to know if this could still be the issue? From what I've read online, it seems like this can cause the problem I'm experiencing.
Are these instructions still relevant? https://techlibrary.hpe.com/docs/otlink-wo/How-to-Configure-a-Local-NTP-Server.html
In Command Prompt, I used "w32tm /query /configuration /verbose"
Server 2012 shows Ntp Server: pool.ntp.org (Local)
Server 2016 shows Ntp Server: (Local)
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you
