Can run any type of exe arcoss a network share?

I've just installed Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise.

I have a app which I need to run, which is on another server on another
network share. Any app which is executable, *.scr, *.exe, *.com errors with
the following error.

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have
the appropriate permissions to access the item."

If I can copy the app locally it runs, is this new secuirty in R2, how do I
fix/workaround this?

 

I'd ask the application developer if this method of execution is supported.

HI Dave,

It works as all of the client PC's 80+ run the software in this manner. Also
I can't run any application which is a executable *.com. *.exe, *.scr.
Howerver if I rename one of those files to *.txt the it opens up across the
network.

This is Win2k3 Enterprise R2 SP2, It seems to be like a new secuirty
feature....

 

Probably so but the method is still suspect. Check the internet/intranet
security zone settings.
