I am the administrator for the whole system (network) and I have done something by accident (in active directory) which is preventing one of my computers on the network (webdev computer) from accessing it's own C drive (access denied). Furthermore, when I am logged into the Windows server 2008 as "Administrator", I look under "Computer" and I see the "C on WEBDEV" drive, but even when I click on it in there, it denies me access.

I have access to everything else except for that drive.

P.S. When I am logged in as a "user" or as "administrator" on the WebDev computer and look at the C drive, there is an icon with 2 people in it (I am assuming this is an icon for permissions), and I am denied access.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

UPDATE: What I think happened is that the "owner" of the "win7" folder within the WebDev C drive was changed by accident (therefore affecting access to the whole C drive for any user on the WebDev computer). However, when I try and change the "owner", it will not allow me to (it says, "you do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings").

Start your PC in safe mode, login as admin and try to change the owner. Use the local admin account.

 

If this doesn't work I have another idea but I need to test it first.

 

PS: can you see the actual owner?

 

Anyway 2 people on a folder mean that's shared

Thanks for the reply :) I tried logging in via safe mode (admin) and still was not able to change the "owner" on that folder.

 

Also, I cannot view the current owner (Unable to display current owner).

Ok, let's try this way.

 

I hope you have ease of access activated at logon screen, if not, enable them.

 

Follow this article (it's for vista, but it works on win 7 too).

 

http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vista/vista_backdoor_logon.htm

 

BE SURE TO BACKUP BOTH FILE CMD.EXE AND MAGNIFIER.EXE (or utilman.exe), because after this trick you have to restore them :)

 

Once you "exploited" your system and you have a command prompt, just type this:

 

takeown /A C:\

 

 

let me know.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure I'm comfortable doing this on my "work" computer (in case something goes wrong).

 

UPDATE:

 

It is affecting EVERY user only on the WebDev computer.

 

For instance, if I log into the WebDev computer with my credentials (DOMAINNAME\kris), I cannot access the C drive (permission denied).

 

But, if I log into the Workstation1 computer with my same credentials, I am able to access the C drive.

That's ok, on another computer USERS POLICIES ARE APPLIED, if you set up a GPO at the computer level, this will affect all the pc in that OU.

 

Anyway, it's an easy process.

 

Go to C:\windows\system32\ and copy cmd.exe in the same directory, rename the magnify.exe (or utilman.exe) with something like OLD_utilman.exe) and rename THE COPY OF CMD.EXE with utilman.exe or magnify.exe .

 

You can't do anything wrong, you don't have to delete ANYTHING, simply copy one file, and rename.

 

Cheers

The problem is, that I cannot go to C:\windows\system32 because I do not have "permissions" to enter the C drive, so I can't access the cmd.exe OR magnify.exe

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean. I am running Windows. What does Ubuntu (linux) have to do with this?

Download Ubuntu and boot from cd and start it as LIVE CD(NO INSTALL) once it's up, under computer you can browse the c disk of windows and make changes. Then reboot as normal.

If you do not set Informix environment variable DB_LOCALE, then it defaults to the setting of Informix environment variable CLIENT_LOCALE. If you do not set CLIENT_LOCALE, the wrapper sets it to the Informix locale that most closely matches the code set and territory of your DB2 database and please try to follow the instructions so that you can gained a good job.
