I just setup a new 2003 Server Standard Edition. I copied all of our
AutoCAD drawing files to the new server. Old server was just a 98 machine
with file sharing. I setup all my users on this new server and added some
of the users to the power users group. I gave my power users full rights
and my regular users read only rights. For some reason when my power users
open a drawing on the new server is tells them that it is read only. I
reset my attributes to all of the files and removed any read only attributes
and it still gives the error that the files are read only.
