Network Share Drive - Not visible (Tailscale Remote Access)

Question

Hi

Please can anyone assist. I am trying to map a share drive on my local Windows laptop to access a remote Windows computer that is a member of a domain managed with Windows Server 2019 and Kaspersky Security Center 14 (Enterprise Version). I am trying to us Taiscale and I am connected and can see some shared folders on this remote machine but I cannot see the share drive.

I have completed all of the following troubleshooting:

1. I can confirm the Shared drive is formatted in NTFS.
2. There are no Group Policies restricting the view of the Share property page in the network
3. I have used administrator level credentials to access the remote computer and the connection works.
4. I can see folders that have "shared' status in their properties on the remote computer.
5. I've turned on Network Discovery and file sharing is selected on both the local and remote computers.
6. SMB-In and SMB-out rules are installed and active.

I have the following questions:

1. We are running Kaspersky Anti-virus across all devices in the network. The GUI for this enterprise version is probably the worst piece of software I have worked with and thus cannot add an exclusion for Tailscale. Not sure that would even help.
2. I am obviously using Network Access to connect into this remote computer. Is there a way to set a permssion or setting on the share drive to allow network access?
3. Could the domain controller be restricting the sharing fo this share drive?
4. Any ideas or things to try?

Thank you for the help?

Answer 1

Have you set your ntfs and share permissions on the target system?

you can always try to hit the default volume admin share for \computername\c$ d$ e$ etc

Most likely your permissions explicitly assigned to the share.

Hope the above helps. Let me know what you find.
