Situation: I have a number of clients who are on different
subnets/domains who need a resource in my subnet/domain. (Ex: The
server is in the 128.82.174 subnet; the users are in the 128.82.224
subnet, and they authenticate to a different domain.) These users all
have login accounts prepared on my server. What I want to do for
these clients is map them a drive letter to a network share on my
server, but I'm having difficulty setting up the connection.
I've tried to set up the server as a trusted site via Internet
Explorer, but when I go to map the drive, I get an error that says
the path cannot be found. The users are able to ping the server.
Suggestions?
This isn't something you'd do in IE - and the subnets have nothing to do
with it. The issue is, how are they connected (rather, what separates them).
Make sure they can ping your server by name.
If you don't want to set up trusts, but just want the occasional user on
domain A to access a shared resource on domain B, then I'd setup a little
batch file for them to put on their desktops...something like this.
net use x: \\server\sharename /user:OTHERDOMAIN\username /persistent:no
They'll be prompted for their password on OTHERDOMAIN when they try to
connect. I *think* you can put the /persistent:no switch at the end of the
/user switch.... if it doesn't work, reverse them. This switch is important
to use or their computers will constantly try to connect to the drive even
when they don't want to, and will nag for passwords.
