Please understand that if the user is an admin, it will be with the highest permissions. Also if logging in via PKI instead of password you will have a slightly different security token. Is this a an Active Directory joined machine?

Please test/demonstrate the following:

Run CMD.exe

dir \\virtual\box\share\folder\

Run CMD as admin

dir \\virtual\box\share\folder\

Run cygterm

ls //virtual/box/share/folder/

Run cygterm as admin

ls //virtual/box/share/folder/

create local user, not in the Administrators group (regular user)

ssh in "your normal way"

id -G
# does it have 544 listed?

ssh in using password

ls //virtual/box/share/folder/

If it is like VMWare, then it is a windows file share provided by a special device driver.

If not, it ***MAY*** require some agent to run at user log on.
