Comments on: Random “Access Denied” Error with Windows Server 2008 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/random-access-denied-error/ Sun, 19 May 2013 03:14:28 +0000 hourly 1 By: tomliotta http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/random-access-denied-error/#comment-84839 tomliotta Sat, 04 Dec 2010 08:55:06 +0000 #comment-84839 The question subject says “random”, but the question text sounds like it’s very patterned.

If the WinXP/SP3 PC has ‘Simple File Sharing’ enabled, turn it off. See “Access is Denied” error message when you try to open a folder. (I love one of MS’s listed causes — “3. You install Windows XP Professional.”)

It’s worth a try. It solved a similar problem for a folder I’m accessing right now.

Disable receive side scaling and offload on the NIC card . . You can test with windows firewall disables .
Even if you think that this has nothing to do with access denied (permissions issue). this has worked for me in the past
