You don't currently have permission to access this folder.

Hello,

We recently migrated several shares from our Windows Server 2008 Std to a new Windows Server 2012 storage.  We did this via a Commvault restore in order to keep all of the ACLs.  And it worked just fine.

Here's the issue:  If I navigate to these folders from my workstation (\\servername) I can access them just fine.  However, when I do an RDC to the server and try to access any of the new shares, I receive the attached error.  I don't get it, I am in both Domain and Enterprise Admins groups.  ANd some of the other admins are experiencing the same issue.

If I click Continue, I gain access and my user ID gets added to the Security list but, if I take my name of that list, boom!, I loose access again.

Thanks

This is a new security feature on 2012.  You should be able to add users to that list (or a group I believe).  Also, take ownership of the folders and make the necessary changes.

1. Right-click the file or folder for which you want to set permissions, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.

2. Click Advanced to open the Advanced Security Settings dialog box.

3. Click Owner tab, click Edit. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.

4. In the new Advanced Security Settings box, in the Change owner to: field, select your User name, and Check the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects. Click OK, repeat for remaining boxes. (If your User name is not listed click the Other users or groups button to add your account).

5. Open the file or folder you wish to access.

No luck.  Even after changing the owner, it reverts back to "Unable to Display Current Owner"

Machienet,
Yes, I think it is the Commvault restore procedure.  It brings all of the permissions into the new server but it has that glitch.  ANy of our admins will have to click "Continue" and this adds them to the Security ACL.

Logging in as the local admin let me access most of the folders without having to acknowledge the permissions dialog.

If I create a new folder, there's no issue for anybody.

Thank you for the insight.
You are welcome. I am glad it is now identified and resolved so you can focus on more important issues!
