I have a user here on our domain (domainA) (user account and computer in domainA), she is trying to connect to a file server in another organizations domain (domainB) with a separate domain account in domainB.
Her computer is running Windows 7. I have tried mapping a network drive to the file server but it disconnects randomly, or wont reconnect and sometimes ends up locking her account, and she can't get access to the files. I've tried creating a batch file that maps the root share (target files are 4 folders deep), then copies the target files to her desktop. It says the folder/files cannot be found. If I try going directly to the share by typing in the UNC, I get a domain trust failure "between the workstation and primary domain" message, and there are no trusts..
What is the ideal way for someone in domainA to access a file share in domainB?
I've struggled with this for several years now... (my batch file works fine in Windows XP, not 7).
