Unable to share files after joining a Domain ???

[zadreamer]

hi guys

how are you all i'm very happy being here

i'v installed Windows Server 2003 and join about 6 xp workstations to that Server...

how ever no user on the workstations now can share any file there is no sharing and security tab when right click on a Folder to share it, also there is no sharing tab when selecting properties for the folder ??

i tried to check the use simple file sharing check box from the folder option also i tried to unckeck it but no thing work

Note : i'v installed file server on the server is that the reason

is there is a group policy that prevent the users from sharing files ??

please help

Is the user account you are logged on as at least a member of the local Power Users security group?

Log on to the windows xp workstation with "administrative account " then enable the "simple file sharing " feature once you enable this the security
tab will not be available then log on using the user account then you will be able to see the "sharing tab"

I'v fixec it thank you very much guys

kujayhawk93 way works thank you

I added the domain users to the local power users group and, I find the sharing and security tab ...

but i had to go to every user computer to log on as administrator and add the domain user to the local power users group is there is a way to do that by a group policy or some thing like that

thank you very much again

You can do this be creating a Restricted Groups group policy object.

1) You need to create a domain security group (for example, Local Power Users) and add all users to this security group or if you require all members of the Domain Users security group to be members of the local power users group you can use this security group within the group policy object.

2) Create a group policy object or add the group policy settings to an existing one.Browse to the following group policy object setting:
Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Restricted Groups

3) Select 'Add Group', you will be prompted to add a group name, here you add 'Power Users' the reference to the local power users security group.

4) Enter the security group (or the Domain Users) created in Stage 1 to the 'Members of this group'.

5) Link the group policy object to the organisational unit(s) in which youre computer objects are located as the group policy object applys computer settings.

6) The group policy settings will be applied next time the machine policy is refreshed and rebooted as the settings are applied at startup.

It was me who first suggested checking the local power users security group, but never mind!
