.vbs .bat error in sysvol

**alonebfg** · 13th July 2007, 02:03 PM

Ok this id driving me mad. for some reason all my scripts no longer run. Anything stored under Sysvol cannot be edited opened or anything else.

It seems to be just scripts as i created a .txt file and i can open edit it and save it then i rename it .vbs and then i cant access it i can copy it and delete it just cant run it or edit it. Has anyone got any idea as all my printers have stopped working and people now havig problems logging in.

It just like filescreening is on but i dont have it on sysvol and have not set it up

Ok i have investagated all the usual roots but with no luck in the \\domain name\sysvol cant access (open or edit) .bat .exe .vbs but can open and edit .txt .doc .log keeps telling me access denied i have 2 servers running 1 with 2003 r2 and one with 2003 r2 upgraded from 2003 it has only just started happening has anyone else seen this by the way have no access problems from the 2003 R2 server that was upgraded.

@alonebfg

You haven't been experimenting with white list software restriction polices have you? If so then you may need to put SYSVOL in the path rule.

No i havent this is a new install of 2003 r2 and just promoted to pdc its driving me mad as its been fine for weeks and only started doing this about a week ago.

ok this is really strange on the two servere sysvol is situated in windows sysvol. lets say server 1 is new 2003 r2 and server 2 is old 2003 upgraded to r2. ok from server 1 i cant edit or run .vbs or .bat \\domainname\sysvol or \\server1\sysvol or \\server2\sysvol but when logged onto server 2 i can access and edit the lot. Im am confused now by the way server 1 holds the dns and is now pdc.

Sounds like a replication issue to me. Do the normal checks (DNS, netdiag, dcdiag, etc) and get back to us.

**alonebfg** · 16th July 2007, 06:30 AM

have done all that dns fine netdiag and dcdiag i will run today. Its strange that its only on one way and the fact access one way is good the other way it cant work and the problem server is the pdc I might try giving back pdc to the other server. will get back to you when i done netdiag and dcdiag.

ok sorted had to give back the roles back to the origanal server and rebuilt the server it seems of luckly there was not much on it. but it need to take over sooner or later. i just hope that i wont come across the same problem again.
