Office Permissions Errors

[toddmanzz25]

We have just migrated all the shared files on one of our servers to a new
server, and have set all the permissions along with each folder. When the
users go through explorer, they can get to each folder/file fine. They CANNOT
however open up files in Office, and or Save them. It says access is denied
upon trying to browse to the shared area. The users are in the right groups,
everything looks ok, but still they cannot access anything through office.
Any ideas????

This is from an Outlook chat:
I still have the problem though.

Post 2 - Access Denied - File Open - My Documents
I have multiple users that cannot access there "My Documents" using the My
Documents button when they try to File Open in Word, Excel, or do attachments
in Outlook.
They click attachments - click on the "My Documents" button - then They get
"Access Denied".
The strange part is that they can use the drop down menu and access their
mapped drive to their documents that way fine. They just cannot use the My
Documents shortcut on the left side

I still have this problem.
I am using Group Policies to send out a default user's redirected folder for
"My Documents"
It is very true that if you remove the "Domain Users" from the local group
"administrators" and put them in "Power Users" - it fixes the problem.
However, our company software requires the use of local group
"administrators".

So, I called McAfee for the VirusScan 8.0 - They said this is a known
problem and I downloaded and installed Patch 10 for it. ---- This did not
solve my problem.
Called McAfee again -- They said to do KB article 288991. This did not solve
my problem either. Now the user could not access even the network drive from
explorer.
So, I uninstalled McAfee 8.0 completely. This didn't solve my problem either.
Now I am completely lost as of what to do next.
Please help. Thanks.

Download FileMon and RegMon from
http://www.sysinternals.com/. Run them as administrator (when no
user is connected), start a TS session as a normal user and try to
run the application(s).

FileMon and RegMon will show you all "access denied" errors that
occur, so that you can give your users the necessary permissions on
a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.

We're having the same problem here...I've run regmon and filemon, but
have been unable to identify where the problem resides. Are there any
other suggestions? This has become a great inconvenience for our
users.
