This is very fustrating! Everytime some of the users here in our office change their password on their client pc due to the password changing rule in the directory (they are all on Windows XP Pro). They lose the security settings for mapped drives and for Outlook (Exchange Server). They have to disconnect the mapped drive and reconnect it and enter their new password in again when it asks them. OUtlook too. They have Office 2003 and use Outlook (Exchange server). When the user changes their password, they have to log into Outlook and supply the new password. Once these are done, it does not ask them again, however the next time the user changes their password we have to do this all over again. Any ideas why this is doing this? We run Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition and use Directory services. We also have Exchange server, SQL server, a Terminal server and a file server. The Directory is on the File server and on the SQL server. The file server holds the main copy of the Directory. The File Server is also the main authentication server. This is also where the users map drives to. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
