The file server is Windows 2008 R2 and the workstations are Windows 7. “Administrator” is the owner of folders on network shares, but gets this error when copying a file from any location other than the file server itself: “Destination Folder Access Denied” & “You need permission to perform this action”.
Đang xem: Destination folder access denied
Administrator has Full Control on the shares (as a member of the Domain Admins group). Administrator also has Full Control permissions for folder and sub-folders.
This problem occurs for mapped drives whether mapped in a script using Kixtart or through group policies.
Here is the bizarre thing. If I bring up Windows explorer through a run prompt simply using \servernameSharedFolder, I am able to successfully copy files.
I am out of ideas. Has ANYONE got suggestions for resolving this access denied problem?

After messing with permissions, I”ve got an answer!
Both Home and Shared had sharing permission of Everyone set to Read. No other share permissions were set. I added Administrator and set to Full Control. Now I can copy files. Setting to Change would probably also work.
Let me also add that the sub-folders already had both Domain Admins and the department (for Shared) or user (Home) with sharing permissions of Full Control. The only change needed was at the parent folder level (again, Shared and Home).
This does not explain why a direct mapping to the sub-folder allowed copying while accessing the sub-folder through a mapping to the parent folder did NOT work, but I”m happy to have an answer nonetheless.
Thanks OneFlipGuy and others.

Have you verified your NTFS permissions? The most restrictive permission applies when share and NTFS permissions conflict.

try removing the mapped drive and then remap it.

Thanks. Yes, I just completed verifying the permissions, and Full Control is what administrator has. As for the mapped drive, it is recreated at each login, whether through Kixtart or group policy.

Windows has a way of saving connection info even if the script or GPO says to recreate it. Maybe it”s a slow link and the drive isn”t actually mapped using those methods because it can”t connect to the server when they run.
Remove the mapped drive and manually create it by right clicking on the shared folder at \servername and choosing Map Network Drive. See if your issue comes back.

I have a funny idea that “administrator” is actually set up as your local administrators. Not going to work if that”s the case. Make sure the Administrator in permissions is actually the domain administrator and not the local administrator 😉

Good idea to check on local vs. AD administrator, but it is the AD administrator.

I have been working with mappings, and this is what I am finding. The folder structure is below:
\ServerNamehomeUserName
\ServerNamesharedDepartmentName
As the administrator, I have drives mapped to “Home” and “Shared”, and below that are the user and department folders (what they see as their drive). When accessing these drives, then trying to copy a file to any one of these sub-folders, I get the access denied problem. When attempting to copy a file to a drive directly mapped to one of the sub-folders, the copy works. The big question is what could possibly be different about a direct mapping to a folder versus a mapping to the parent of the same folder. In the end, the folder has the same permissions.

If the folder or drive is shared, check the share permissions.
