Problem Mapping Drive with W2K

[OutHouse]

I have a tester who is trying to map a drive to one of our test servers. her workstation is on the corp domain and the test server is on the engineering domain.

When i go into my computer and select map drive i get all the normal stuff and the log in for the connection. however when i put in her credentials and click ok the login prompt comes back. but when I put in my credentials it maps the drive.

I have checked the permission on the share she is connecting to and she does have permission based on her group. I have changed her password in user manager, i can ping by both name and IP and i can make the mapping with my login so its not a connectivity issue.

why will this not work?

When you enter her credentials are you entering engineeringdomain\engineeringdomainusername?

yes
eng\user
password


like i said in my first post when i put my credentials in it works and maps a drive. when i put hers in the login box pops back up.

make sure her account is not disabled or locked out in the test domain..

also rememer when you hit a share most restrictive wins so may sure she does not belong to a group that has deny access..

the share is ddrive and fdrive and is set to the testing group full control. other testers with the same permissions/rights/group have no problem.

im at a loss.

first,
On her workstation in control panel (classic view), select user accounts. Highlight her logon and goto the advanced tab. Hit the manage passwords button. Be sure this list is empty.

second,
map the drive using the net use command and specify credentials on the test domain.

NET USE * \\server\share /USER:testdomainname\username

(in the above, anything in caps is explicit, anything in lowercase you fill in)

The reason you are able to do this and not her is likely because you are using the same username and password on both domains which is a security no-no.

ok, this is strange, i run the net use command and it squeels that its already connected.

C:\Documents and Settings\ NET USE * \\server\ddrive /USER:eng\user
System error 1219 has occurred.

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previ
ous connections to the server or shared resource and try again..

I think the above is your problem

If i take a gander that D$ and the share you are trying to connect to are the same server

if you do a net use /delete * then try connecting to the problem share it should work

the above command will disconnect any connections you make have..

You cannot connect to the same server using two diffrent logons typically via UNC..


having users connect to server hidden shares are usually a bad idea since it gives that access to everything on the drive.. I would just share out the actual folder they need and give that user and or group access..
