The Master domain (domain1) has a PDC and several BDC's a hub and spoke model
with the user accounts on domain1
The gobal group from the master domain (domain1) was added to the local group
on the resource domain (domain2)
I gave access to that local group to folders on the PDC,BDC, and file server
of domain2. users in (domain1) can access folders on PDC and BDC of domain2,
but not the file server on domain2 even though the same permissions exist for
folders on each of the domain2 machines.

Your'e quite safe if only one BS-version is used as Workstation BS - you may

It won't help you to format the harddisk with Windows 95's FORMAT.COM, if

These subjects are very well explained in the MOC courses.
There are some basic rules for setting permissions on shares when using
Windows NT:
1) On FAT use the share permissions
2) On NTFS use directory permissions, if wanted use share permissions
additionally.
The local / global group rules also apply here. However, you have to remember
to configure you clients correctly, either make them logon to the domain or
add the user accounts to the local SAM.
Btw: It is very difficult to analyse an access problem involving permissions
because a large number of factors play a role. Understanding the NT security
mechanism will help you, I suggest that you either read whatever you can find
on NT or visit some courses.

assistant: John,
There's two things that seem likely. First, double-check your
termination. Make sure that the only devices with termination enabled are
those at the ends of the chain. If you're using any cable terminators,
they must be in the _end_ connector of the (internal) cable. Second, I'd
suspect the controller, only because a friend had a Future Domain card
that caused him endless problems in Win95. After he replaced it with an
Adaptec card his problems disappeared.
