Hey, I thought I'd throw this out there as a lot of you have real IT training as opposed to my make it work experience. Anyway, I have a local network for work that is pretty old and we only have it so our main software can run off a local server. The server is running older software like Windows Server 2008. We only have 3-5 local computers but all can access the server via the local network. Usually it asks for the local machine log on and password and then no problems. Had an older Windows 7 machine that one of their updates made pretty much unusable. So I bought a new Windows 10 machine. Can see all the computers on the network just fine and got sharing turned on for the folders we need (usually just some photos). However, when I try to click on the server from the new machine it tells me access denied. I know its probably a setting on the server but I can't figure it out. Any thoughts or help? The other two machines with Windows 10 seem to work just fine but they are running a bit different version somehow.

The error is "the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer".

Got it... its a janky workaround but I got it figured out. Had to create a new user on the Server with the exact same User name and logon passwords. However, this was complicated by the Windows 10 saying they changed my name when really it kept the original as I typed when setting up the computers. These bastagaes are pushing me to Linux.
