i have a windows server 2016 domain controller and a windows server 2016 file server with two disks C and D, and everytime the file server restarts it gives access denied to disk D, so i have to remove the file server from the domain and add it again to have access. How can i resolve this?

The same happens with the sql server, the service does not start.

    It sounds like your permissions may be messed up or restricted. I do not know if you are trying to access D: by the D$ share, through some share you have established, or if using a share, if that share is persistent. If you are having issues with your domain admin account accessing your D$ share, try changing your GPO settings in Computer Settings\Windows settings\Security settings\Local policies\Security options. Look for User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode and set it to disabled.

    For Microsoft SQL you may be missing file system permissions for SQL or using the wrong account. if you need to add back permissions to a particular section of your file system you need to add the full service name similar to an account, it cannot be browsed (NT Service\MSSQL$SQL2016).

    You can also look at the following: Using Service SIDs to grant permissions to services in SQL Server

    Hi Support Valor，

    It sounds like there may be an issue with the permissions on the D drive. You can try checking the permissions on the D drive and make sure that the appropriate users and groups have the necessary permissions to access the drive.

    Additionally, you can try resetting the computer account for the file server in Active Directory. To do this, you can remove the file server from the domain, delete the computer account from Active Directory, and then rejoin the file server to the domain.

    For the SQL server, you can try checking the event logs to see if there are any errors or warnings related to the service not starting. You can also try restarting the SQL service and checking the service dependencies to make sure that all required services are running.

    Best regards,

    Qiuyang
