Re: windows xp security model in workgroup setting

You might want to check the security log via Event Viewer on the computer
with the share to see if any logon failure is recorded or not that may give
a clue what is going on. Otherwise it may make sense to simply add a user
account with same logon/password to the computer with the share that matches
what the user logs onto their computer with and then you don't need to
specify any credentials in the logon script. Make sure that the user has
necessary permissions to the share for both share and folder/NTFS
permissions. The user [or someone who logs on as the user] can also create a
mapped drive with persistent alternate credentials via Windows
xplorer. --- Steve

hi, i have a customer with which I am optimizing a workgroup network
environment.

after the user logs on, a script runs and maps drive letters to shares on
other computers. the account used to map the shares exists on both hosts
but *is not* the same account that the locally logged on user uses. a vary
basic net use command is used.

net use j: \\machine\share /user:username password

when i browse in windows explorer, i can see the mapped drives. but when i
click to access them, it prompts for a user name & password again.

is there a way to disable that? the drive has already been mapped meaning
the account has already been verified by the recieving host, right?

thanks,
steve
