Guest Gillies Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Using the net use command within a domain to access a remote XP SP2 client not being a member of any domain. Trying to access an administrative drive with the command: net use z: \\computer\d$ i get the following error msg: Invalid password for computer\d$ (even if I have the right admin password) Why does it ask for computer\GUEST account password ? GUEST account is disable and dont want to use it anyway. What did I miss ? TIA
