I have a problem.. and yes, the share is the same name as one of the users. I can still access the folder, just the permissions on some of the subfolders gives me a deny message.
You cannot name any of the shares to the same name of any local users because the NAS has a feature of Home folder/share where each local user get their own personal folder when enabled. This personal folder's name is the local user's name. You may be able to get access to it but might get trouble in the future and on permission settings.
After some further reading, let me clarify: The issue is with a home share. I can no longer see it via regular login on the network. I suspect that when I reconnected the NAS NV+ to an ADS, it somehow screwed up the permissions and folder access to the home share. I can still see it with a connection via the admin computer but not with any others, even though they share the same profile.
Well, things have changed.. I can no longer even access the home share nor does it appear in the listings and I get an error when I type in the folder name.
How can I access the home shares I used to have? And yes, the check mark option is on.
Actually, I cannot access the share even with the admin credentials. I cannot see it, nor "home", in the share list to change permissions, but I can see there is data in the User and Group accounts when I click on the name of the user. I cannot access this share anymore at all.
The home share is mine, it doesn't seem to accept my credentials. Is there any other way to edit the security via admin? I don't know if the ADS and homeshare are 2 separate systems and I broke it when I reconnected the NAS to the ADS. Even if I change the credentials in the credentials manager to /"NAS"/"HomeShareUsername" or just use "HomeShareUsername" with a password.
This would be easier if I could just manage it with the admin creds, but the share does not appear. So the same user is the admin, the ADS admin, the home share.. and when I connected the ADS again, maybe it removed the home share access?
Okay so I am able to access the share finally by using net use <drive.letter>: \\ip.address.of.nas\c /user:admin <admin.password> and looking in the home directory.. Now, how to change the permissions and have it able to be seen and accessed again.
Keep in mind is that you can only access the NAS with one credential at a time (which is a windows restriction). That's why the net use * /delete command was in the earlier post. There is one workaround -nasipaddress access can use one credential, while nasname access uses a different one.
One option you can try is to copy the files off using the admin access. Then delete the user from the NAS and recreate it. Connect to the PC as the new user, and then copy the data back. Net use might be the best way to try this (using net use * /delete in between).
