Sims moved to a new domain

[edie209]

We have combined our domains today something I know some people agree with and some don't but we took our time thinking about this.

 

Anyway I have a connection error when I try to log onto sims ( I have just got home so I haven't got the error message to hand, but its a connection issue :oops: ) , but have I forgotten something really silly. Permisions on the sims folder have been change to allow all sims users on the new domain to have modify access and the sims user group are local admins on the workstations (anyone know how to do this remotely)

 

I have spoken to our local sims support and gone through their suggestions with now luck I was just hoping someone could think of something I may have forgotten.

I may need to do this soon for another school so will keep my eye on this post.

I could be the connect ini file.

 

IS the drive used for sims mapped for the user having problems. Ours is mapped to S:\ to sims installation folder.

 

Sometimes when we get problem with server and they have not reboted (drives not mapped) we see this sort of issue.

 

hope it helps

Could be that simple you know, I was tired when I finished today so might just have missed that one

OK i have the faut code now

 

9799-2185-4000

Absolute path information is required : System ArgumentException

 

If I try to log onto sims on the server it is fine and it is also ok on the one win2000 (bromcom) workstation we still have.

 

any suggestions?

Advice Check the preoperties of MY DOCUMENTS. Ensure that the User has FULL CONTROL to the folder specified in Target Folder Location.

Group Policies may have been set up incorrectly and they are restricting User Access.

 

To test this out, create a new User on the domain and run SIMSPERM.BAT and then see if that Userid can run SIMS .net

djm968 thanks for the reply I saw this but it don't seem to be the problem.

 

Users "my documents" are their home folders they did have modify but I have tried raising to full control with no luck

 

"Group policies may be restricting access" I have two users in the admin OU that are having no problems.

 

All PCs are the same model and the same RIS image

 

"To test this out, create a new User on the domain and run SIMSPERM.BAT and then see if that Userid can run SIMS .net" Do I run this as the new user?

can they at least read the folders between the root of the share and their home folder?

 

I had to add a read to "this folder only" for the levels below when redirecting my documents to a folder that wasn't root. This also breaks things in office 2003

Thanks I'll look at that in the morning

[edie209]

I have spent the entire day today comparing two pcs one work one doesn't.

 

I think i may have finally found the problem the ones that work are using my documents on the local machine, something I don't want, and the that are not working have a networked my documents.

 

I have redirected admin staffs my documents to their home folder using the group policy setting and given them full control as I assume Sims requires. This doesn't work (or at least it didn't for me).

 

Coulds I ask how other people have their sims users setup with referance to :-

 

Profiles

Home folder

Permissions

Folder redirection

Have I missed anything?

 

My users have their home folder st in Active Direcory H: \\server\share\username

 

Profiles are roaming profiles \\server\share\username

 

Home folders they have full Access

 

Folder redirection my documents basic redirection redirect to users home folder.
