Stored User Names and Passwords NOT WORKING

[Guest The_Nite_Owl]

We have some Win 2003 SP2 servers that are application appliances.

We log into these boxes with a local logon account and map drives to shared

resources on our domain using alternate credentials (a domain account).

 

These mappings never reconnect themselves after a reboot of the server

unless you open up Windows Explorer, click the drive which will pop up a

window stating that the password was incorrect, then enter the password.

 

We have 4 mappings that point to sub-folders on the same resource.

Example:

J: folder1 on 'ourserver\ourfolder'

K: folder2 on 'ourserver\ourfolder'

L: folder3 on 'ourserver\ourfolder'

 

In Stored User Names and Passwords we have an entry pointing to

ourserver\ourfolder with the account name as domain\account and the correct

password entered.

It appears to save the password, at least it shows ******** in the password

box but at each boot the mappings will not connect.

 

I thought perhaps that the stored credentials would not work with the mapped

drives and so instead I dropped to a cmd prompt and typed in the full unc

path to the server but was still prompted to enter the password.

 

Is there some way in which this feature might be disabled even though full

access to the menus for it are available?
