Re: Server not asking for credentials

>From what I have seen the user should be prompted for user credentials as
long as there is not a user account with the same name as the user but a
different password on the Windows 2003 server. It might also help to look
in the security log of the Windows 2003 server to see if there are type 3
logon failures and the reason why. Windows 2003 also requires that the user
must have a password to access the computer shares in case some of your
users are not using passwords. There is also the possibility that access is
being denied due to incompatible security settings such as for digitally
sign communications or lan manager authentication level. You can use Local
Security Policy [secpol.msc] to check such settings. Assuming everything
else is fine as far as network connectivity and compatible security options
the user should be able to connect with the net user command as in net use *
\\server\share /user:server\user after which they will be prompted for the
password and allowed to connect. That would not be the most desirable way to
connect would but establish if a user could connect with their user
name/password or if there was some other problem indicated by logon
ilure. --- Steve
