Sharing EFS Encrypted Files "access Denied "error
Jul 31, 2009
I'm trying to access a network folder share with my notebook. The share contains EFS encrpyted files and is located on a PC that runs Vista Ultimate. My notebook runs Vista Entreprise. I can see the files and its sizes, but I cannot copy them to my notebook or open them directly from the share without getting an "access denied" error. I installed the PC's encryption certificate on my notebook (as documented in Vista's help) but keep getting the "access denied" error. I have no issues with copying or opening files on the network share that are not encrypted. The error message only appears when trying to copy/open encrypted files.

I have a HTPC running vista ultimate 32bit, 250gb OS drive and 1tb mirror storage drive (need some fault tolerance since my pics and music will be stored here.) I would like to have this machine also act as a mini server and be able to share out the folders housing my music and my pictures. ( makes it easier for me to dump off my recently taken pics from vacations that i may have dumped onto my laptop, and now that i am back home would like to dump back to the vista machine.) This machine is also part of a domain (a whole other nightmare to get vista to join my domain) My server is running windows 2003 standard.
I set folder permissions and and i just can't seem to get passed the access denied. when trying to open up one of the vista shared folders. from the domain controller i mapped the folders that i need and i can open them but can not make any changes or create new directories. what am i doing wrong? I know i am no expert when it comes to networking but xp has never given me this much of a headache. *the reason it is on a domain and not a workgroup - is to broaden my skill and familiarity with working with servers, Domain controllers and Active Directory*

I have spent 2 weeks on this now. I recently installed Vista Ultimate on my main pc (PC1), and using the default sharing wizard, shared a series of folders to the 'Everyone' group, as I allow my private home network to access my shares anonymously. Everything was working fine for the first few days, PC2 and PC3 where able to successfully access the shares, until one day it just stopped working and when PC2/PC3 attempted to access the shared folders via ‘Start > Network’ or UNC Path \VISTA , it would say “Access is Denied”. Having said that, to make it more complex, the shares are accessible if you type the folder share name, ie \VISTAMovies.......

My not be a problem, just my ignorance. I'm dual booting Vista and Windows 7. I created a 150GB partition on a 1.5TB 2nd drive to install 7. I wanted to shrink that partition to 100GB using Disk Management. It seems like it runs through the process then gives me an Access Denied error. I'm doing this from Vista on the main drive (C). What am I doing wrong or can't I shrink a partition that has an OS present? Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

When I was running XP, I put some personal files in a special encrypted folder, but I forgot to decrypt it when I backed it up to install Vista. Now, everytime I try to open one of the still encrypted files, I get the message saying "Access Denied".

I am able to map a Vista 64 drive from my XP machine but I get a cryptic message: Access Denied when trying to display the Vista files. I am able to go the other way - open the XP folders/files in Vista. Google searchs provide much info but I'm just not able to access the Vista folders or files from my XP machine after trying many things.

Once redirected folders using Folder Redirection for My Documents is setup, Users on Windows Vista SP1 get's access denied, to all 'Offline' content, and files created/modified can't be synced to the server,sync enter reports access denied.The file server is running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 with Service Pack 2 installed.The share allow use of Offline Files, and share permissions are Everyone FC.I let Folder Redirection populate folders for each user in the root directory of the share. (Following Guidelines)This issue seems to be common, but there doesn't seem to be any solution to the issue.

I have a computer running vista premium and a computer running xp home. Vista is nfts file system and xp is fat32 file system. Both are connected to a linksys wired router, both are online. I went to set up files sharing and thought I did. When I check my view network in vista I can see the xp machine and and vista machine. I have no acces to the xp machine. Is this because the xp machine is fat32 file system and vista is nfts. I was just checking some other post on another forum and found that fat32 can read ntfs and vice versa.

I posted this in general, but it does not appear there so I am posting it here too. I have a desktop PC with VISTA and a laptop with VISTA. The DT is connected to a router via a cable. The laptop is connected to the router via wireless. I have set all permissions that I can find and share wherever I can find. I can't access files on either PC from either PC. I get the message "Windows can not access \Lu-PCC" or what ever folder I try to access. I can get into the folder alled "public", but my files are not in that folder on either PC. The permissions for Lu-PCC is everyone full control, change and read

I encrypted lots of my files on my computer, Before it died on me. If I would of known that It was going to die, I would of decrypted asap, but thats not the case. I still have the HD from my old computer(it hasn't been reformatted) I have it installed on my new computer, as a D: drive. Iv tried to move my encrypted folders from my old HD to into my new. but I'm not seeing them pop up, I see the names of the folder when there copied. but when I click on them. nothing. So Iv used a EFS recovery program on my old HD.
Iv got the files but when I decrypted them they came out blurred or gray screened. so that didn't work. I came across a EASEUS data recovery wizard. I was able to recover my encrypted files, but I cant take ownership to decrypted them. error mesg :you will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes:comes up. I've tried to right click, properties owner tab, advance. I put down myself as full owner for everything but still nothing. Is it impossible to decrypt my files?

I had a problem with an older Windows XP Pro machine. I now have a Windows Vista Premier x64 machine. Since the old computer had an ATA drive I couldn't just move the old hard drive to the new SATA system so I have bought an external hard drive kit to connect the old drive to the new system via a USB 2.0 port. My problems is that I can no longer access some encrypted files on the old hard drive.

I have 2 laptops running Vista Home Premium and a Desktop running XP Home -- all are using the same WORKGROUP workgroup. Laptop 1 can see the desktop and access files without issues. Laptop 1 can see laptop 2 in the "Network and Sharing Center", but cannot access any files on it. Laptop 2 cannot see the desktop at all, nor can I type the "\desktop" path to get to it. Laptop 2 can see Laptop 1 and access the files without issues.
Laptop 1 and Laptop 2 have all the same settings that I could think of. Network and File Sharing settings, workgroup definition, etc. In fact they are basically the same laptops. I have been trying to get this to work for days now. I have rebooted all machines at some point a few times.

I try to access folders under my name (set up as administrator), most of the time I get access denied. It is driving me nuts. I want to change the start menu and get rid of a bunch of garbage but I can't enter the folder to do so. When I use the start menu program, it only has a few basic folders. This happens frequently, even when trying to view pictures or video in the folder. What do I need to change to remove this very annoying problem?

using the laptop through wireless I can see other computer and even list their shared folders but when I try to actually list files the connection timesout and gives an error os dennied access to the shared folder. If I try to use VNC for instance, the client connects, asks for pass and then after the remote screen starts to appear.. it hangs... no response after that . The strange part of the problem is that if I connect the laptop through a wired connection everything works ok I access shared folders, I print remotely, no problems. I tried a number of things , the most obvious, like firewalls diferent settings on the network etc. What I can't figure out is what can be so different in the PC for the wired to work but not the wireless.

I think I might have a good one for you.. I am working on an Acer 5610z Notebook for a friend of mine. He was setting the parental controls and managed to control his account which had admin access. the user listing has the account listing as an admin but he only has standard user access. His was the "only" admin account.. While he was doing this he managed to deny access to the boot drive. The drive reads as "Access Denied". The machine boots up and a person can play games etc.. but network access is restricted.

How can I gain FullControl of my machine? I have turned off UAC. There is only 1 account. That's me, and I'm the Administrator. I right-click on Documents and Settings in Explorer (or whatever it's called now) and I get "Access Denied?". I am NOT interested in Microsoft's idea of security. I want absolute control of every file on my machine. If I can't have control, the machine is useless to me.

Im using Vista Basic on a Sony Vaio NR32L. Last night I did everything normally, switched it on this morning and: c:windowssystem32configsystemprofiledesktop is not accesible. Access is denied. So I tried to change things, but I cant get into My Computer or Control Panel or anything else in fact. Also to actually switch on it takes years and then the message appears.
