Hi,

To save time and network copying, I decided to put together a full
'install set' for our servers on a little external USB2 disk - just
stuff like all the .Net Framework installers, IE7 updater etc

However, I seem to almost randomly run into servers that have issues
with accessing these files - they can see the disk just fine, they can
see the files just fine, but try and run any of the executables and I
get the following error:

'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may
not have the appropriate permissions to access the item'

No matter what permissions I give them, I get the above error. I have
even copied the files to the servers local drive, and *still* get the
above error. I cant fathom it.

Thoughts?

Cheers
Richard
 
Re: External Disk Permissions

I have now fixed this - it was the IE Enhanced Security Configuration
that was causing the issues.

The IE Enhanced Security Configuration is an added bit of
functionality which restricts IE from doing certain things. I simply
removed it from the server (probably not the best idea) via Add/Remove
Programs.

As for accessing the drive, it shows up in My Computer as per any
other drive.
