Error when mapping drive with read only permissions - unc path works fine

Hello,
we have user shares that we map to drive H:. the shares are in the form \\server\user\<loginname>. The shares have full permission and the files and folders have full permission for the user. To be clear, the shared folder is \\server\user. <loginname>
are several folders, one for each user.
We use a vb script to check if a user stores too much data and if yes, we set the permissions for the user to read only and delete (with icacls).
Unfortunately, it this happens, we cannot map the drive anymore on Windows 7 (on Windows XP it works fine). The error is "Permission denied". Interestingly, the user can still open the share with the unc - path.
Is there anything I can do, so that the user still has his drive mapped? Most user are not tech savvy enough to open their share with the unc - path.
Thank You,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
Please disable User Account Control in windows 7 to see if you can see the map drive. In the meantime, I suggest to use GPP instead of logon script to map drive.

  • DI API - accessing objects with Read only permissions

    Scenario: I have setup a user in B1 with "Read Only permissions" on the Business Partner. When I log into the DI API as this user and try instantiating the BP object, I get a message "Loged on user does not have permissions".
    Why am I getting this? Shouldnt I be able to instantiate the object and read the property values. i understand that I cannot Add or Update because of read only permissions.
    Is there a way we can retreive values for users using the DI API or should the best option be to write a SQL statement.
    Thanks,
    Gopal

    Requiring the user to have full authorization to instantiate an object is a serious limitation for the DI API. It makes it virtually useless. After all it is supposed to be OOP and all the trimmings isn’t it? It also takes a lot of control away from the user.

    Hi,
    I have confirmation from B1 product definition, the DI API access for objects with Read only permissions will not be included in the 2007A version. It will be considered for the following version after 2007A.
    There is a chapter called "Authorization Checks" in the SDK Help file specifying:
    "SAP Business One performs authorization checks for the business objects and the infrastructure and meta data objects. If a user does not have full authorization to access the objects in SAP Business One, the user will not have permission to access the data belonging to the business objects using the DI API."

  • Can't copy files from NTFS volume with Read Only permissions?

    I am trying to copy files from an NTFS volume used previously for Windows onto another volume which is Mac OS X Extended...
    However, certain files fail to copy due to the fact that I 'don't have permission to access some of the items'...
    So I found the items which are causing the issue and viewed the permissions for them which display as 'You can only read'... I presume I am correct taking these as read-only permissions which (to my knowledge) should allow the files/folders to be copied accross to a new volume assuming that the existing volume is left without any changes attempted.
    So can anyone suggest to me why this is? And how I might rectify the issue?
    Thanks in advance

    Ok I've just worked out that 'You can only read' is referring to the fact that I can only view permissions but not add any. Below this statement, no permissions are listed which may explain why I cannot access the files but does not explain why I can copy/access some files, also with no permissions...

  • Sharepoint Permissions Application user with read only permissions

    Friends,
    I am trying to create a separate permission Group for an Executive(Department) Team who can access all the documents and lists in the portal with only read permissions because they need to see all the documents and lists in the libraries.
     I can add them in to  SP_Application_User group but i don't want them to edit the documents.
    If i create a new group and set a separate permission level with read only setting, they cannot access all the documents in the document libraries and lists because some of the document libraries and lists have separate permission which overrided parent permissions.
    Hope i will get help from any of you.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Chakri

    Hi,
    For your issue, you could add the users to Central Administration > Application Management > Policy for Web Application and grant Full Read permissions.
    With the configuration, these users have Read permission to the whole web application.

  • External WD Hard Drive suddenly Read only - Permissions Issue and Error 50

    After completing a recent OS update, I noticed my WD, External HD was no longer accessible. When trying the run a backup, via Time Machine, I would see the following error: "Time Machine Error. The backup volume is read only." If I tried the open the back up drive to see individual files, I would receive an error suggesting I did not have sufficient privileges to access the drive. Apple tech. support suggested I lot into my computer as the "root" user. Once I did this, I still received the Time Machine error, but, could open the Back Up drive in Finder and access files. It was still impossible to add files to the back up drive, but, at least they're accessible. Lastly, I would click the "Get Info"option for the backup drive. Once in the Info window, I would choose the sharing and Permissions tab. All privileges are set to "Custom". When I try to change them to "Read/Write" I see the following error, "The Operation could not be completed. An expected error occurred (error code -50). The tech. Apple tech. support rep. was stumped. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

  • I have all of my data from my old macbook pro in an external hard drive. Basically it's my old Macbook hard drive with external casing. It was working fine before when retrieving files using my new macbook air, now I can't access any files?

    I can't access any of my files, photos, anything form my external hard drive... It worked before now when I plug it in the light comes on, but it doesn't even show up as an external drive, so I can't access anything, I'm worried I have lost everything...

    Huge mistake was only having ONE copy of your data OFF computer,
    most people do it, and its just horrible and the typical reason for serious data loss.
    Likely you have a very common failure (extremely common actually) called SATA bridge card failure, which would be "good" news,
    read about same here:
    Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD
    Never again let yourself have LESS than 2 copies of your important data off-computer,      ever
    1. verify the external HD doesnt show up on another Mac
    if same, you have about a 8 in 10 chance its SATA card failure.......... easy to fix.
    The great news at the end of the tunnel of an apparently failed or failing external hard drive.
    When checked on another computer, and with no need for spending money on data extraction expertise or software, the very likely case is that your external USB or thunderbolt HD is in fact fine, and merely the card interface, or SATA bridge card has failed or is failing.  Keeping a HD dock around handy, or cheaper still a $20 hard drive enclosure or a SATA to USB connector can be a real life saver in getting your drive back to use, when the drive itself is fine, and merely its interface card has gone bad.
    The SATA bridge card inside a USB external HD has a very high failure rate in general
    Typical SATA bridge cards as seen inside a 3.5" external HD with power input (#1), and 2.5" SATA cards (#3, #4, #5)
    What are the realistic odds your HD is perfectly fine?
    There are no hard facts whatsoever, especially since so many people discard their assumed “dead/faulty” hard drives, but a good educated conclusion from years of examining and seeing this issue is that for hard drives made since 2010, and not dropped or generally abused, is that a minimum of 50% conservatively are perfectly fine! I personally estimate however that it likely approaches 60%+.
    Considering how many external hard drives ‘fail’ (rather the SATA bridge more than half the time) each day, that is a very high number of perfectly fine HD that are tossed!
    This is especially common with 3.5” desktop HD that are connected 24/7 with power and see a lot of data transfer. People wrongly conclude that “X” mfg. just made a defective drive, when in fact their 3.5” drives inside the plastic enclosure is 100% fine.  I have personally seen well over 200 of these dead SATA cards and additionally seen 3 fail within a one hour span of doing a large data copies.
    One of the very reason pros use bare HD as inserted into HD docks is not just the saving of space and the need for endless USB cables, but the elimination of the need for this high failure-rate part.
    While the shapes and sizes vary somewhat on SATA bridge cards, they all serve the same purpose and have likewise failure rates
    What exactly is the SATA bridge card in your external HD?
    In the middle to late of 2009, most all external hard drives both in 2.5” and 3.5” reached the shelves in SATA III. These small SATA cards or "bridges" are used to translate between the hard drives’ interfaces and the enclosures' external ports (USB, Thunderbolt, Firewire). Additionally these small bridges not only transfer power but also of course the data. Unfortunately these SATA bridge cards have a very high failure rate as they are burdened with shuffle power and data.
    Literally these little unreliable and fragile cards are the power conduits and the nervous system for all external HD data transfer.
    SATA card as found inside a typical USB external hard drive
    The assumption that the hard drive is bad when its not!
    Countless 1000s of good external hard drives are thrown away each year because the owner thought the HD was bad when it fact it was the SATA bridge card which had failed. This card is removed in a matter of mere second once an external USB HD is cracked open from its plastic casing to reveal the bare HD and the attached SATA card which attaches between the HD and the USB cable.
    To complicate this problem, even many computer professionals do not know that there is a very easy solution to the “failing or dead HD” issue since the hard drive itself is very likely just fine.  Its astonishing that so many highly educated computer repair persons are unaware of this high-failure part, but this is mostly due to the fact that they do not juggle 100s of hard drives and know that of the iceberg that is a “external hard drive failure”, the mostly unseen majority are not a HD failure at all, but a bridge card failure.
    To add to this great misunderstanding is the fact that people assume that "likewise symptoms seen on an external HD are the same as seen on an internal HD, therefore also the external HD must be bad". This is a compositional fallacy of logic. Since internal HD do not have a SATA bridge interface, to conclude similar symptoms "indicate the same failure" is misplaced and incorrect.
    This is all not to say that HD do not fail, they do indeed, and I have seen many 100s of dead and failing hard drives.  Hard drives even under ideal conditions have a life expectancy of around 4-8 years due to ferromagnetic depolarization from entropy.  But of the mountain of symptoms that are seen as “hard drive failures” in comments, posts, and hearsay, half or more of these are not a HD failure at all.
    Once your rescued hard drive is removed from the bad SATA card
    You have several options, but the purchase of a $20 HD enclosure is one option, another is having a HD dock, however this eliminates the former portability in a 2.5" small HD.
    Remember that 3.5” HD require power, which means you need either a HD dock, or a powered SATA card kit as seen at top left in the picture below. 2.5” HD get power from the USB port itself.
    Just remember that the serious downside to the low cost external HD enclosures is THEY TOO contain these SATA cards, and what is worse the cheap ones will fail, often, much quicker than the original factory one did! In which case it is recommended you buy a quality HD USB enclosure

  • ORA-01461 Error when mapping table with multiple varchar2(4000) fields

    (Note: I think this was an earlier problem, supposed fixed in 11.0, but we are experiencing in 11.7)
    If I map an Oracle 9i table with multiple varchar2(4000) columns, targeting another Oracle 9i database, I get the ORA-01461 error (Can't bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG).
    I have tried changing the target columns to varchar2(1000), as suggested as a workaround in earlier versions, all to no avail.
    I can have just one varchar2(4000) map correctly and execute flawlessly - the problem occurs when I add a second one.
    I have tried making the target column a LONG, but that does not solve the problem.
    Then, I made the target database SQL Server, and it had no problem at all, so the issue seems to be Oracle-related.

    Hi Jon,
    Thanks for the feedback. I'm unable to reproduce the problem you describe at the moment - if I try to migrate a TEXT(5), OMWB creates a VARCHAR(5) and the data migrates correctly!! However, I note from you description that even though the problematic source column datatype is TEXT(5), you mention that there are actually 20 lines of text in this field (and not 5 variable length characters as the definition might suggest).
    Having read through some of the MySQL reference guide I note that, in certain circumstances, MySQL actually changes the column datatype specified either at table creation time or when interfacing with other databases ( ref 14.2.5.1 Silent Column Specification Changes and 12.7 Using Column Types from Other Database Engines in the MySQL reference guide). Since your TEXT(5) actually contains 20 lines of text, MySQL (database or JDBC driver .... or both) may be trying to automatically map the specified datatype of the column to a datatype more appropriate to storing 20 lines of text.... that is, to a LONG value in this case. Then, when Oracle is presented with this LONG value to store in a VARCHAR(5) field, it throws the ORA-01461 error. I need to investigate this further, but this may be the case - its the first time I've see this problem encountered.
    To workaround this, you could change the datatype of the column to a LONG from within the Oracle Model before migrating. Any application code that accesses this column and expects a TEXT(5) value may need to be adjusted to cope with a LONG value. Is this a viable workaround for you?
    I will investigate further and notiofy you of any details I uncover. We will need to track this issue for possible inclusion in future development plans.
    I hope this helps,
    Regards,
    Tom.

  • Authentication error when sending email from workflow but list alters email work fine

    I have a list. When a user enables alert on this list then he/she is able to receive email from SharePoint when someone adds a new item or change item.
    But emails sent by SharePoint workflow or Nintex workflow are not being sent. Error is:
    Error 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated
    Why emails are not being sent by workflows?
    EDIT
    And by SharePoint workflow, I mean OOB Publishing workflow.

    Hi Frank,
    For solving your issue , you can do as the followings:
    1. Check all the email addresses are valid and they are not blocked by your SMTP admin
    2. Check firewall settings if emails are blocking by any firewall or antivirus
    3. You need to also check SPLog file if anything log there
    4. Also create simple workflow with SharePoint Designer 2013, and give proper email to check whether it is working or not
    Here is a similar article for you to take a look at:

  • What to do about Backup failed with error: The target volume is read-only

    This is a weird story. My wife has a PowerBook G4/1.33 GHz that she uses in clamshell mode with a 20" Cinema Display. One day under OS X 10.5.6, her Time Machine backups (to a networked 500 GB Time Capsule) failed with the error: Backup failed with error: The target volume is read-only. So I upgraded her to 10.5.7 and erased the sparseimage file, starting a new Time Machine backup. And it just happened again. Any idea how this sort of problem arises? My wife was doing something at her computer when the Time Machine error occurred.
    Please don't advise us to upgrade to 10.5.8, because her PowerBook freezes not infrequently with any OS later than 10.5.6, and I was just about to downgrade her from 10.5.7 to 10.5.6.

    Try repairing the sparse bundle, per #A5 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    I've tried this before, but it can't be repaired, because it can't be mounted.

    One possibility is, the HD in the Time Capsule is beginning to fail (all HDs fail, sooner or later).
    I'm backing up to my own sparseimage bundle just fine.

    Those two things may be related. Whatever's going wrong may very well be what's corrupting the backups.
    I'd recommend finding out what's wrong with the Powerbook. It's impossible to tell, of course, but that may be the root of the problem.
    There's a problem with PowerBooks and Cinema Displays. I've posted a lot about this. Even after a motherboard replacement, my PowerBook G4/1.67 GHz had freezes, and eventually Apple gave me a MacBook Pro, but I think there's a failure involving hardware/software design.
    If you haven't yet, I'd start by dong a +*Verify Disk+* on it's internal HD (also per #A5);
    That checks out fine.
    if there are no errors, or they're fixed and the problem continues, run the +Apple Hardware Test+ from the disc that came with the Mac. (One of the discs should have that, and instructions for running it, printed in tiny type on the label).
    If still no help, I'd be inclined to do an +Archive & Install, preserving users & settings,+ of Leopard, then download & install the appropriate "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate (change the last "8" to the desired number). Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

  • How do I change permissions on my seagate expansion drive from read only to read and write?  Thank you!

    Are there expansion drives compatible with both Windows and Mac as I have a Windows computer at work and use my Mac at home?

    It is a question of formats.  That drive probably is formatted for Windows.  You will have to reformat it to ExFAT on the PC, then it will work both on the Mac and the PC.

  • Problem with Read-only user being able to add and delete files and folders.

    The setup:
    Computer #1
    iMac (intel) running 10.5.5

    Sharing folder on external USB drive called 'iTunes' (but not the drive volume itself)
    Users:

    When I go to finder>network>iMac>connect it prompts me to login which I do and then select 'iTunes' folder which is visible and mounts successfully. I can see all files, access them all. Life seems great. Then I discover that I can also modify and delete files from the iBook, and create and delete directories.
    I'm new to networking and although I've setup and managed minimal networking tasks on PCs before, this is my first foray into the Mac networking world. Please help.
    What am I doing wrong? What haven't I set?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, I should have clarified this in the first email.
    When I login from the iBook, I am logging in under a read-only user (not as myself, who is admin on the iMac). The user on the iBook has only been given read-only permissions on the iMac yet is able to add and delete files.
    This read-only login/PW however, is the admin account on the iBook, but that shouldn't allow this person to write on the iMac so far as I understand things...right?
