Unable to run Programs over the network.
Something wierd started happening and I can not figure out the problem. If I try to run a msi or another setup program from the network on one of my Servers which is a DC, I get the message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item." However if I copy the file to the server, it runs without a problem. I checked the permissions and I do have full control. What could be the problem???

I removed the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, and it did not fix the problem.
Any more idea's?

OK, this sounds like a problem with permissions. Check the folders security tab and fine tune the access rights.

As I indicated in my original post, I checked the permissions and I have full control.
fine tune as in try to re-inherit the permissions!
I know I didn't mention it but did you try to restart after removing the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration?

Open Internet Explorer. Open options. Under the security tab, add the path \\servername\share to the Local Intranet Sites.

Adding the server to the Trusted Sites in IE for the local intranet solved the problem.
