How to access a network share as a different user...

[gui_m]

Hi. Is it possible to log-in to another machine on my network as a different user than the one i'm logged-in locally? I know i can do it by mapping a network drive and selecting "connect using a different user" but I always get an error saying:

Anyways, I'd like to know if there's a better solution cause I don't want to have to map unmap network drives everytime. I've got Fast User Switching and Secondary Log-on both enabled. Thanks in advance

In Windows Explorer, click on Tools->Disconnect Network Drive

See if that drive is mapped there. Sometimes you don't see the mapping in your directory tree.

I got it working by going to computer management and terminating the network sessions that were already open the remote computer. However i still don't like doing this through Map Network Drives. Is there a simple solution like in ftp where you use ftp://user:pass@ip or smb:\\user:pass@ip?

Thanks again.

That's :

net use * \\remoteip\remoteshare /u:remotedomain\remoteuser remotepassword
