Mapping Network drive ??

Flintstones1962 · #1 May 16, 2006, 04:36 AM

Hello,
A user who is not a member of a domain, need to map for him/her a drive on the DC ( file server ), I can map the drive, but the system doesn't ask me to remember or save the password ( he asks for the user name and password of the DC ADMIN ).
So every time the user starts his/her computer, he/she has to give the ADMIN password to access the mapped drive .

the user is running Win-XP ( SP2 ), and client for MS-networks protocol is there.
With some other users it went very well without any problem, and this computer has nothing special or different than the others.

Any tips ........

Greetings

Using a startup batch file will not help, as the system maps the drive, but he doesn't allow the user to access it without the ADMIN password.

How about just setting up a custom batch file to run on log on.
Something like this may be what you are after:

Code:

net use m: \\IP_ADDRESS\FOLDER_NAME PASSWORD /user:DOMAIN\USER_ID

Hello,
Yes of course it could be used in a Autoexec.bat , accept my apology as I didn't get that what you meant.
Thanks for your help.
