Shared Drive

[mapat]

Hello,

I have an exrternal shared drive "E:"where I put my be files (which are constantly accessed by users with fe's from different terminals). Everytime
I reboot the computer that I am working on (where the external drive is), I have to set up the permissions of the shared drive "E:" all over again, otherwise other computers have no access to E. Is there a way that I could
fix this and not having to set permissions every time I reboot my computer?
For some reason, the permissions are lost.

Have you contacted your system Admin to see about it? Sounds like a Windows issue and not an Access issue.

Are external drives smart enough to remember the permissions put upon them? i don't think they are. because if u take that external drive to a different computer... none of the permissions will work.. i think they did this on purpose so that you can use it on multiple machines

Ah, good catch Ray. I didn't even register in my mind the fact that it was mentioned that it was an external drive.
