Guest Spiros Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I have a windows 2003 domain and i have a few windows nt clients there anyway that i can have these clients open a certain folder with out having to type in the password of the folder no the domain every time i restart the computer.
Guest Bill Grant Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Re: Windows NT Client with Windows 2003 Domain Why not join the machines to the domain and set up domain accounts for the users and have the users do a domain login? If you do not want to join the machines to the domain you could put them in a workgroup with the same Netbios name as the domain. Then set up accounts for the users on the domain.

Guest Spiros Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Re: Windows NT Client with Windows 2003 Domain Thanks for the fast reply ok first of all ive been told that you cant add a windows nt to a windows 2003 domain, or i should say that how they set it up. Secondly ive done what you said with the workgroup and netbios name. Things seem to for but there is a certain folder on a windows 2000 server that i need access to i map the folder to the drive and add the password everything works fine until you restart the windows nt machine or the network is lost. Ive added rights to the windows 2000 server share with the windows nt logon but still it loses it...

Guest Bill Grant Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Re: Windows NT Client with Windows 2003 Domain Is the W2000 server a domain member? If it is you do not need to put a password on the share. Just share the folder to Authenticated Users. Any user with a valid domain username/password should be able to access it. That should include your NT clients. If the server is not a domain member you are stuck with authenticating to the server itself.

Guest Spiros Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Re: Windows NT Client with Windows 2003 Domain the w2000 server is a domain member but the windows nt client does not log on the windows 2003 domain. For some reason it always ask for a password to the map drive every time it restarts any ideas?
