0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 To clarify, the WSS Troubleshooter didn't properly create the shared folders in the dashboard? If that's the case, could you run "fsmgmt.msc", open the "Shares" section, find the shares in question, right click on them and select "Stop Sharing". Don't do this for the "NETLOGON", "REMINST", "SYSVOL", "Folder Redirection", or "File History Backups" shares. Then use the dashboard to create new shares with the existing locations. This should let you create them and set the permissions for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few folders (inside the ServerFolders folder) I would have to manual create here, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Followed your instructions and it worked. Was not nearly as bad as I had envisioned.. Glad to hear that, at least. Though, still not sure why it wouldn't create the folders in the first place. That is correct.. When you say "shares" are you referring to the folders??? There are quite a few folders (inside the ServerFolders folder) I would have to manual create here, Well, given a bit of time, I'm sure I could have written a powershell script to help automate this (powershell is really freaking cool, actually).
