Help - Troubleshooting the Environment Change for Already Shared Projects

Troubleshooting the Environment Change for Already Shared Projects

Problem: You have shared a project with local/domain user while working in domain environment. You have changed from domain environment to workgroup. The old sharing is not visible in Project Shares expander in SMC. The same is applicable if you are working in workgroup and change to domain environment.

Cause: On environment change from domain to workgroup or vice versa, SMC fails to map this path to any existing shares of the project, thus displaying that the project is not shared.

Solution 1: Change the project’s Share name and then share the project again by adding the user.

Step-by-Step

1.: Select the project under Projects node in SMC tree.

2.: Open the Project Shares expander.

3.: Change the Share name to some unique name other than the default.

4.: Click Add to add the user with which you want to share the project.

5.: Click Save.

Solution 2: Removing the project shares for the project using Windows files shares and then share the project using Project Shares expander in SMC with the user.

1.: On the disk, go to the project folder path
For example, C:\GMSProjects\Project1.

2.: Right click the project folder to open the Properties window.

3.: Select Sharing tab and then click Advanced Sharing.

4.: Remove the existing shares by clearing the Share this folder check box.

5.: Click Apply.

6.: Click OK.

7.: Share the project using Project Shares expander in SMC. See Sharing the Project Folder on the Server.
