Guest Joe Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I have remote VPN users that I want to be able to map a drive to a UNC share on a Win2K3 server. The VPN connection uses IAS for authentication with AD. I have created a share and setup read access for 'domain users' and 'anonymous'. However, users are still prompted for domain credentials in order to map the drive. Can anyone tell me how to eliminate the login prompt? Thanks, Joe

Guest Joe Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Re: Open access to share via VPN The VPN user logs in using his network account name and password, which authenticates to the AD controller. Users are able to map drives to their home directory and others, just not this new directory. Joe "Robert L.
