Permissions Error from Logon VBS

I have recently been employed to assist the setup of a new business, and
deploy a network based on Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition SP2.

I've written up a small VBS that simply logs a users logon/off to a text
file on the server.
I've added the script to a domain wide group policy, and I've set the
permissions to the folder in question.

'Everyone' has been given write and append permissions, and I personally
have full administrative permission.

However, the logon script is generating a permissions error. If I go to the
folder the log is supposed to be written to locally "E:\Shared\Logs\" I can
access, modify, etc. If I go into the folder from the network
"\\server\Shared\Logs\" I have no rights, though the permissions show the
same as if I had gone to the folder locally.

What have I missed?

More details avail if req'd.

Thanks in advance.

Check your permissions on the share itself. Sounds like you didnt change
those and by default it is set for everyone to have read only access to the
share.

I knew it would be something stupidly obvious that I was overlooking.

I've not tried it yet, but I know I haven't set permissions to the share and
I doubt anyone else has...

(Just trying it now quickly...)

Yup, that was it.

Thanks J
