The most likely reasons the users cannot connect are because of denied permissions and mapped drives. If the data was moved to another computer, the folders will inherit new permissions from the parent (by default). That will most likely eliminate the current user access. Also, the path to the share will change (again by default). Either the server name/IP address, the sharename, or both will be different when the data is moved to another server. So, to fix the problem, the user and group permissions will have to be modified for the new share, and new mapped drives will need to be configured. --Quentin Doctor Practice Exam Cram Core 2

The logic makes sense. (A) was feeling right, but the permission i get but since it's moved... users may not have access to it or parts of it.

Denied write/delete permissions would not leave users unable to read files like the question states. Option A seems a more likely fit that D. If the files are moved to a specific user account folder or a different machine then users may need to be added to the local admin group to access it. This is more true if the new drive or parent folder requires admin permissions/group-membership to read because moving files across drives changes the files permissions to inherit from the destination. In the case of a permissions conflict Windows will default to most restrictive. So A B would be my choice. I'm interested to hear other arguments.

The questions also states they have proper security and access. But that data was moved to another server, so hence mapping to different drive? Maybe they have the same permissions, that were on the previous but not modified for the new additional server?

For those commenting on users not having access... re-read the question " The technician confirms the users are all in the proper security groups and have the proper access"

Even if they are in the same security group each user may have different permissions
