SYMPTOMS
Assume the following scenario: You are a member of the Power Users group on a remote computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition, or Microsoft Windows 2000. When you use the Shared Folders feature from the Computer Management tool on your Windows Server 2003-based computer to share a folder that is located on the remote computer, you receive an error message that is similar to the following:
The following error occurred while retrieving information on the path "Path": Access is denied.
You cannot share a folder that is located on a remote computer from a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, even if you are a member of the Power Users group on that remote computer. You do not experience this issue if you use the Shared Folders feature on a Windows 2000-based computer to share a folder that is located on a remote computer.
