Access-Denied Assistance in Windows Server 2012

Access-Denied Assistance is a new feature in Windows Server 2012 that makes it easier for users to get help for “access denied” errors with shared file resources. On the other side of the equation, administrators are given clear information to resolve such permissions problems.
