SBS 2011 standard with 6 xp Pro and 1 Win 7 Pro - Windows cannot access reirectedfolders (Win 7 Pro machine)
Hi,
I have a domain with 1 SBS 2011 Std. Server (New install no migration) , 6 XP Pro Workstations and 1 Win. 7 Pro workstation.
A recent power outage caused the server to shutdown. After restart all users complained that their desktop Icons were gone. I had them reboot their machines and all come back up except the Win. 7 Pro machine. ( I have folder redirection setup for the users via the SBS wizard). The desktop is blank. When logged in as the user and click "Documents" the following error message appears:
Network Error
Windows Cannot Access
\\Servername\RedirectedFol
Contact your network administrator to request access
No permissions have been manually modified on the server. Looked in Event Viewer on Win 7 machine (Folder Redirection). No errors were noted.
Thanks,
Frank

Hi RobWill,
From the Win 7 PC I can access the server and see it in "Networks". I checked the NIC settings and it is set to "Optain DNS Server address automatically" which is the SBS server.

No other solution was brought forth to correct problem
As for the problematic machine, make sure in its DNS settings on the NIC it is assigned ONLY the SBS for DNS, no alternate, whether statically set or through DHCP.
