Network Folder Sharing Problem - Help!

Hi,
I have a Windows 2003 server with 30+ domain users. I have shared a number
of folders on the server for these users to access and store files, however,
there is a laptop which does not logon to the domain, but exists on the
network.

Normally, I would expect a username/password prompt to show if this laptop
were to access the Win2003 server's shared folders. This did occur a few
times, but has now stopped and keeps prompting the same message of having no
permissions to access the resource. How do I continue to have this
username/password dialog apear?

Thank you in advance,

A.

Hello A,

Remove it from the domain and rejoin it. Then try again.

Best regards

Try

net use x: \\server\share /userOMAIN\domainuser

.....in a command prompt. You can do this as a batch file if you wish.

Ideally, though, all your users should be on computers joined to the domain,
and should all log into the domain. The fact that this is a laptop shouldn't
make any difference, really.
