I been trying to fix a what i believe is a permission problem for days.  Here is the issue. 

 

Before:

 

Windows 7 home computer is used to rip my blue rays to my unraid server via a mapped share with the root account as the authorization.  I then use a Dune player to access the smb movie share on the server using a customer account called "user".

 

After:

 

New Windows 7 professional computer is now doing the ripping.  now when i use the Dune player anything ripped on the old pc works.  anything made from the new machine does not.  when i look from my new windows 7 machines the permissions on the folders created with window 7 home show "user" with rights.  security permissions on anything created from windows professional only show "root".  when i try to add users to the security tab on the old computer i see all the unraid created accounts.  when I try the same thing on the windows professional server it doesn't see the unraid accounts (i verified i'm looking at the server).  I read a number of posts about SMB on windows 7 and made the changes suggested but it still doesn't work.  The only way to get the Dune player to play the new movies is by setting it up to run using the root account which i do not want to do.

 

Help!

Try disconnecting the share from Windows and then mapping it again using credentials that are not "root".  If "user" has permission to write to the share, use that one.

Tried that but no good.  Using as the account to access the share I can't write.  The way I had it setup was the new pc has full control and all of the other accounts have read and execute.  As i said earlier this new pc can not add user to the share permissions, he doesn't see any unraid made accounts which doesnt make sense.   

Set up a different "admin/root" account and use that one.  DO NOT USE ROOT for writing to the array with version 5.
