Sharepoint Access Issues

MarkTinnion — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 14:29:00 GMT

Hi,

I have eleven development machines for our users which should be identical in terms of permissions an security settings due to the way they were set up initially. On the majority of the machines the permissions are exactly the same. However on a couple of them, in order to access sharepoint, the sharepoint page needs to be left open in the background. As soon as sharepoint is closed the VM no longer has access to it.

I didn't set up the machines myself and the IT person who did is no longer part of our business. Can someone direct me as to where and what I should be looking at to get the settings the same?

Thanks in advance!

If you're trying to access files, you should be able to browse the directory via SMB. Setting this up as a shared drive might make the connection persistent.

Be aware that you may need to have the system run a script to open the directory on user login and/or system reboot to ensure that the connection remains valid.

What error do you get when you try accessing the site on the couple of VM after you close and re-run the sharepoint site. Maybe try checking the Content Advisor of IE for any sites have been blacklisted. (Press inetcpl.cpl in run and go to content tab->Content Advisor)

The error message is a standard message saying that the file does not exist

I also get the below message when trying to access the files through file explorer

So I guess that means it is a permissions issue for the VM rather than a BP issue? It's my own profile when logging on to the VMs, and it works on most of them so it's not an issue with my user profile I don't tink

Looks like you have issues in authenticating the share point site. You can access share point via UNC which will navigate you to the folders in share point .
Let me know if you have any followups.
