WD Sharespace - Can’t delete files?! Western Digital Storage Problem External drive. Active Directory?
My Sharespace drive is connected to my Active Directory domain.
PROBLEM
I find that I or the assigned user are unable to delete SOME of the files in a share where we apparently have full access.
Some files can be deleted, some can not, the resulting error message on files / folders that fail to delete is always
“Cannot Delete filename: Access is denied. make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use”
**Goes the same for renaming files, attempting to change owner of files etc.
I have tried to delete the stubborn files while logged in at the same machine as they originated, using the same login as they were backed up under. - no go.
I have tried to delete the files from my own machine logged in as myself (domainadmin), but no avail, even though I have “full access” of the Share, as set in the Sharespace software.
MY SETUPS
In the Sharespace I have created folders, using the following method:
login - go Advanced Mode - Folder Shares - Storage - Add, (provide Sharename, select CIFS, check the “setup access control after creating Share” - Submit - Then select the assigned users.. (There is a list of users that Sharespace pulls from the DC.)
…from the “unassigned users pane, to the Full Access pane, then Submit.
So I usually provide each share “full access” to 2 people, 1 for myself, as I am domain admin, and a single other user to allow them to store or backup data from their PC.
If I look in Advanced Mode - Folder Shares ’sharename’ I see CIFS enabled.
If I look in Advanced Mode - Users - “sharename’ -Modify, I can see that I and my assigned user have Full Access.
I use the folders to backup user data, some are straight file copies, some are made using NTBackup, some are images of partitions made with AcronisTrueImage.
Running out of space, need help, can’t believe how un-integrated with Active Directory this device is.
palluji - I heard back from WD.
Support stated that the device can only handle being connected to a Domain with 32 active users.. My domain does have more. What about you?

Alrighty, where to begin.
I have 2 computers, the one I’m having THIS problem with, is the newest, fastest and better computer. I have PLENTY of space let, storage, whatever, checked myself, etc.
Now, the OTHER computer, hardly has ANY left, and the storage problem does NOT occur?
Though I can’t use the other because I can’t save, xD
so, I need help to solve this.
I’ve already deleted everything “unused”, and I have about 60 GB left?

I have a MacBook laptop and I have a lot of stuff on it like pictures and music and stuff like that. I’m planning on getting a backup storage device but I’m wondering which one is a good one to buy. I have looked at the TimeCapsule but some reviews have made me not so sure about it. The same with the Drobo. Most reviews about the Drobo seem to be pretty good but I’m not sure.

XP preventing me from opening USB storage device after connecting it to vista?
I use my USB storage device at school for homework and such. After connecting it to vista computers in class the storage device uses a folder icon and when I connected it at home on my windows XP computer it states I don’t have the appropriate permissions and cannot access the drive. At the school it works fine in the vista and XP computers. But at home I have to use “explore” to get in my folders and homework files.
Can anyone help me fix this issue? especially the folder icon bothers me…

Storage help please?
I have a medium size room and basically every inch is piled with clothes and accessories with no where to go. I recently cleaned it and I can’t find a place to put my shoes and some other stuff. So I have two questions.
1. Is there any way to make like a shoe rack with basic stuff found at home? If not, where do you buy them?
2. What are some easy storage tricks??
umm sorry its in the computer section, but I never check over where it goes. let yahoo pick it -_-

External Hardrive synced to both a PC and a mac?
I have both a PC and a mac running at home. And i have heard of some compatability issues with different hardrives being formatted to the certain operating system. I was just wondering if i could use this hardrive for storage on both computers, and if it would take an obnoxious amount of the drive’s storage to support both of those operating systems’ formatting.
