Hi all,

I have a windows 2000 domain with two windows 2000 DCs, and 3 windows server
2003 member servers. And all our file sharing are through a DFS root called
\\MyDFS\files. their are two links under this dfs root:
\\myDFS\files\link1 -------- \\windows2000 server1\share1
\\myDFS\files\Link2 --------- \\windows2003 server\share2

I have a batch file like the following:
net use x: \\myDFS\files\link1
net use y: \\myDFS\files\link2
net use z: \\myDFS\files

1. for all clients (windows 2000 pro and windows xp pro), when logon to
domain, the batch file runs correct.
2. for winodws xp pro client, when logon to local computer, the batch file
runs correct.
3. for windows 2000 pro client, when logon to local computer, the batch file
have the following result:
a). x: and z: drives are mapped correctly.
b). prompt message: The username or password is invalid for
\\mydfs\link2 even I put the correct user name and password, it still doesn't
work.
c). In command line prompt, type:
net use y: \\windows2003 server\share2 password /user:domain\username
it works.
d). In command line prompt, type:
net use y: \\myDFS\files\link2 password /user:domain\username. got
the following error message:
system error 1219 has occured.
The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.

please notice that, when map a share on windows 2000 server, no problem
but have problem to map a share on windows server 2003.


thanks.

the local username and/or password on the 2000 workstation that is used is
different from both the xp pro local user and domain user; this would
explain it.

for example, let's say there is domain user account administrator with
password of admin
on the xp machine, the local administrator account has password of admin
on the 2000 machine, the local administrator account has password of msft

when the batch file runs it uses the current credentials.
for this example:
if you logon to the domain as administrator, and run it, it works, because
it is using current domain credentials
if you logon to the local xp machine as administrator and run it, it works
because it has the same password of admin
if you logon to the local 2000 machine as administrator and run it, it fails
because the password is different; it tries to authenticate using
administrator with password of msft, which will fail, prompting with
something like "the username and password is invalid for..."
manually using the net use command specifically using the
/user:domain\administrator admin statement will work correctly
then if use the net use statement again, with a different username/password
will generate system error 1219 as you cannot create two connections to the
same server at the same time using two different sets of credentials

does this help?
