DomainUser1 uses a domain login. On his old computer, everything worked
fine. On the new computer, he experiences multiple problems.
1. He cannot open e-mail attachments in Outlook. An error message appears
saying something about not having permission to access the file, or that it's
write protected or read only.
2. When he opens a Power Point file on either his computer, or a network
folder, it opens it as read only. Also, as soon as he starts to edit the
file, a message pops up saying it is read only, and removes the changes he
made. (Normally that doesn't show up until you try to save it.)
As a test, I assigned User2 (also on domain login) to "power user" group
on the local PC. Everything worked fine for her. We did not test this
without "power user" on User2.
We assigned DomainUser1 to the "power user" group on the local PC, and the
problems remained. However, when we added him to "administrators" group,
everything worked.
DomainUser1 does not have any groups assigned to him on the old computer
(same version OS/Office) and he does not have this problem on the old
computer.
We checked the file properties, and the files are not marked read only. All
users were assigned full read/write privileges to the folder.
Obviously, admin rights allowed him access to something, but another user
only needed power user (if anything).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
