SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to connect to a network share, you may receive the following error message:

is not accessible.

Access Denied

If you are accessing a share in another domain, this message may appear even though you have verified that the trust is configured correctly. Also, the share may be visible in Network Neighborhood.



CAUSE
This problem can occur when the share permissions are set correctly but the NTFS partition permissions granting access to individual folders or files have not been properly assigned. This problem can also occur when the reverse is true.



RESOLUTION
This issue may be resolved by verifying that both the share permissions and the NTFS partition permissions are correctly configured for individual user or group access.
