Vista requires admin rights to copy file to network share

I have a Vista Business box connected to a W2003 server.

My problem is that when I try to copy a file to a network share on th
server, Vista demands admin password to copy the file.

Vista allows to read files from a share using ordinary user rights, bu
won't allow to copy a file to a network share as an ordinary user, onl
as administrator. The networks shares are configured correctly, i
things work nicely with XP ....

Any advice on this

If it works fine with XP, that could be the UAC issue. To confirm it,
disable UAC and try it.

I've tried to disable UAC and I have still the same problem with UAC
disabled.
