BigDaddy Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) I really dislike the Mapping of Network drives in Win2k since it does not remember passwords I am forced to renter them upon every reboot.Is there any workaround for this Edited November 11, 2007 by BigDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 No, there's no way to store credentials to a drive after every reboot. However, I can't think of a reason you'd need to enter credentials unless you're mapping a drive with creds different than the logged on user - is that the case?

BigDaddy Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 the mapped drive is has a username and also a passwords. And this I must input at every reboot. So unless a better fix is found I am using the command line NET USE to map the network drives upon starup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Is this a domain environment, or are these workgroup machines connecting to a workgroup server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 If this is not a domain, and the user mapping the drive does not have the EXACT same username and password on the server you're mapping the drive to, then this is going to happen, no way around it other than using a script which supplies the username/password in a net use command (which you've said you have done).
