Vista Ultimate networking problems with Windows 2003

I am running a Windows 2003 network. I have no problems with Windows XP
computers, they have been running fine for years with no issue.
Today I put a Vista Ultimate computer on for the first time. The computer
is joined to my domain, and I sign on as (domain) Administrator. I try to
copy .exe files from the network to the Vista machine, but I always get the
same error:
'There is a problem accessing '\\domain\d$'. Yes, I am connected with an
administrative file share. Nothing shows up in the log, and no helpful
information. I have no idea why Vista won't copy the file. It appears (so
far) to be limited to exe files. I can copy other files without an issue.
Since I am signed on with domain administrator, I should have full access.
Just to be safe, I signed on to the server, and made sure the file was marked
'read' for 'everyone'. There is no obvious reason why this is failing.

I copied the file to an XP desktop, then successfully copied it from that
desktop to the Vista machine. So I can get the files to the Vista machine in
that manner. I am connected via hard line, not wireless.


Any ideas where I can go to troubleshoot this?

It may be some things to do with UAC. For a teat, disable UAC. Can you copy
them now?
