I have a few users here on my own domain who once or twice a week need to connect to a fileserver in another domain. No trusts exist.
I've tried doing the 'map a network drive' but the drive keeps disconnecting, then when the user tries to reconnect, it ends up locking the account for incorrect password attempts (no clue why). So I created a .bat file to map the folder, prompt for a password, copy the files, and disconnect. That worked fine on Windows XP. The same .bat file however, does not work on Windows 7.
I have created a shortcut straight to the folder for the User, and that worked for a while, but is now not working.
Anyone have a suggestion for the best way for a user to connect to a file share on a file server in another domain? I have very basic users, so the simpler the better.
