Hi folks,

I installed a Windows Server 2003 R2 a few weeks ago onto our
network/domain, and all went fine. It is not a DC, it is a member server.
I'm not trying to install Symantec AV Server on it via a unc path from
another server and got the below error, and when I copy the downloaded
software onto the desktop and click on the setup.exe file, I get the same
error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.
You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I'm logged
in as the domain admin, and this is the only machine I am having this trouble
with. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

Add the server to the trusted sites in the Internet explorer settings.

What i also saw sometimes, that you have to create a real drive mapping to
install some software.

Best regards

Meinolf,

Thanks for the response. I was about to post the fix I found for this. I
went into add/remove Windows Components, and uninstalled the Internet
Explorer Enhanced Security component. This seems to have made my permissions
type error message go away.

Thanks,

Mike
