My Files only works for admins

Hi,

I've just set up HAP+ 8.4 (with 8.4.1 My Files patch) and set up a couple of mapped drives for use, and thats worked nicely. I can do everything I want with it logged in as the admin user.

However when I came to test it as a student login, it logs into the home page fine, but when i click my files, it loads the page, but fails to load the shares, I just get a rotating refresh arrow next to the top level 'My Drives' item in the tree, and a couple of messages below saying "Something is wrong" and that it's been logged. I'm assuming its some permission error given it works as admin but not as a student, but I don't know where logs might tell me.

Apologies if this has been asked before but a quick scan of the forum didn't turn anything up.

Any ideas?

David

Edit: I should probably mention its IIS6 on an old 2003R2 server we have.

Edit 2: Did a bit of api peeking, on the admin login I get (from /api/MyFiles/Drives):

But logged in as a student I get back JSON (also from /api/MyFiles/Drives):

Check that the users have local logon rights to the server that is running HAP+

anyway round local logon rights dont really want to give kids/staff local logon to a dc esp as its in the suite rather than a server room

None unfortunately, it's how HAP+ ensures security on your network.

It's best to use a member server, usually it's a Terminal/Remote Desktop Server

ideally yes but the only servers i have are in semi public locations and 2 of 3 are dcs the other has sims on it so there is 0 way im using that one lol

hmm might have to look into a vm

A VM would work. If your servers are 2012 I think you can install Hyper-V

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I have this message showing for some users, and not others, and they're all in the same group.
