Thanks for your quick reply! I gave Everybody full control as well as the CV usergroups and SYSTEM that were there before but that did not help. Still can't create directory error. I tried opening up the SYSTEM command window as you suggested but that failed, the CMD process got created but no visible window showed up. Might be because I have access to this W2K server ony by means of Terminal Services and maybe the remote desktop does not show interactive windows... However setting up an at command to create a new folder worked, this folder showed up, but is apparently owned by myself. But I might be looking in the wrong place for the owner, see below... >Open the directory to 'everyone', start a large checkout/in and check the >permissions of the temp directory whilst it's still there. That'll tell >you who is trying to create it. Did that as myself (sspi) from another PC and the temp dir got created. How can I determine for sure who is actually creating this dir?? I tried rightclick and select properties/security. Then on the Advanced/Owner tab it says: Administrators (group) and Bo Berglund (bob) Does this indicate that the temp dir gets created by bob in this case (I am connecting using sspi when I do the large checkout)?? What would happen if I use pserver in this case then? (Of course I cannot snatch this since this is where it fails.) >Setup an interactive shell as SYSTEM (at <now+1 minute> /INTERACTIVE >cmd.exe) then try to change directory/make directory & see if it works. > >> Is there some problem with the impersonation so that when I log in via >> pserver as setupmgr I am not properly aliased to DOMAIN\bob as I >> thought? > >If DOMAIN is the default domain for the server and it's let you in then it >should have worked. > I tried cvs passwd -r DOMAIN\bob setupmgr This placed the DOMAIN\bob as the aliased user but it gave no different result to having just bob as the alias... ?? /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
