Question : Cannot use remote executables after I upgraded to R2

I recently upgraded all of my servers to 2003 R2.  Ever since the upgrade I cannot run installers or executables that are stored on other servers.  This worked great before the upgrade.  I have a server that houses all of our program deployments and service packs and all my production servers have a mapped drive pointing to this specific server.  When I click on whatever I want to install I get the following:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  You may not have the appropiate permissions to access the item."

All permissions are set right and I get this same error with the enterprise Admin account.  I know it is not a permissions issue on the directory itself.

So what I have to do is copy the whole thing locally and run it after I go into the properties of the executable and hit the 'new' unblock button that R2 introduced.

I do I make R2 'let' me run remote executables...

Thank you for any help regarding the matter.

Answer : Cannot use remote executables after I upgraded to R2

Try removing Internet Explorer Enhanced Security from the server under

Add/remove programs
Windows components

See if that helps.
