Microsoft Windows Server – Access Denied error message when you access an SMB file share in Windows

   Access Denied error message when you access an SMB file share in Windows – when you try to access a specific folder that is located on a Network Appliance (NetApp) Filer or a Windows Server that supports SMB2 from a Windows-based system through the Server Message Block (SMB) Version 2 protocol, the access is denied. This issue occurs in Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008

To resolve this issue, use the ICACLS utility to set the desired permissions that contain the Synchronize bit. For example, at a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER

ICACLS h:\folder /grant domain\user:(RC,RD,REA,RA,X,S)
