Virtual pc shared folder permissions
Posted on 2015-01-23
Hello
On my home network, any pc can map a drive to my NAS and get access to a particular folder....no problems
One of those pcs is running Windows Server 2012 R2. On this same server, I installed VMWare workstation 10. The o/s on it is Windows 7. I'm using the bridged network adaptor.
On this VM, I was able to go to Shared folders and map to my NAS, BUT when I try to open the folder, I get permission denied.
Question is, why would that be since all other pcs on my network have no problem accessing the data. So the problem shouldnt be a folder permission issue
So far I havnt seen in documentation how to resolve this.
Thanks

I installed VMWare workstation 10. .... I'm using the bridged network adaptor. <-- If you have ensured this is true and the VM IP address is the same subnet as the host machine, then two things:
1. Ensure VMware Tools have been installed and are running as this can affect sharing.
2. If Tools are running, then it is not a VMware issue at all.
In the machines, check that Network Discovery, File and Print Sharing and password protected sharing are all ENABLED. Make sure NIC's are on Work/Private and not Public.

"On this VM, I was able to go to Shared folders and map to my NAS, BUT when I try to open the folder, I get permission denied."
there may be a problem with new installation of Windows 7 you use and default settings, this problem occur in some Windows versions as I remember with default settings to use home sharing, so on every shared folder it connect use guest account, not a local user with it password hash, in this situation on some default NAS it just can't authenticate at all and you will get into exactly problem you describe.
to switch windows 7 to "classic sharing" you may easy do it in my way, so:
- click menu start and type mmc, press enter, then click File/Add/Remove Snap-in
- in available snap-in on left side find "Group Policy Object Editor", click Add and at new window where the Local Computer is selected click Finish
- then on the right console you will see "Local Computer Policy", click OK
- here expand Console Root/Local Computer Policy/Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies\Security Options and here find "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts" and click it
- here in new window you may switch from probably "Guset only - local user authenticate as Guest" to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves".
then if your local windows user have same password that this user on NAS you will be automatically transparently authenticated, if not, you will be asked for user and password.

Are their any logs on the NAS that you can view?
What about the Event logs on the Windows 7 workstation?
Are you connecting with the same username and password?
