Guest phantomcain Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Hello, We just migrated from NT 4.0 to 2003 AD. We have a share on a stand alone server that many people access just using their username and password. All users had local accounts. After joining this server to the domain we found that the only way to access the share is to use the prefix of the domain name before the username ("domain\username"). Does anybody know of a way in which we can still continue to just use username and password instead of domain\username and pword? Any help would be much appreciated. -- phantomcain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phantomcain's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=32522 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=830444 http://forums.techarena.in
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Re: Accessing shares, append domain prefix Hello, since it is now in the domain, you can directly use the domain accounts. That's what for domain is meant! Just remove these local accounts, and give domain accounts access to the shares. It will no more ask them passwords -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU English blog: http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com French blog: http://www.lotp.fr "phantomcain" <phantomcain.2y57re@DoNotSpam.com> wrote in message news:phantomcain.2y57re@DoNotSpam.com... > > Hello, > We just migrated from NT 4.0 to 2003 AD.
