Good morning, when trying to share a folder Windows Server 2012 R2 I go to Advance sharing, share this folder, permissions, Select everyone full control click apply click Ok. Then when I click apply I receive An error occurred while trying to share Varian-Photos-2. Access denied. The share resource was not created at this time. I have taken ownership of the folder and get the same results. Taken ownership of the folder as local administrator, get the same results. Created a test folder and tried to share it same results. I am a Domain admin so I should be able to share the folder.

Your help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    Here are some troubleshooting steps:

    1.make sure that the NTFS permissions allow Full Control permissions for Administrator.

    2.Check the Event Viewer logs under "Windows Logs > System" for more detailed error messages when attempting to create the share.

    Regards,
