[Samba] Lots of automount help for Linux clients, but how about FROM Windows?
I am trying to do something which should seem very straightforward, not to mention, not unusual for load-balanced web servers, namely: providing a faceless/login-less mounting of SMB shares from NT4 and Win2K servers. Yes, I accept that I will need to stash a plaintext login key in some script or registry key. The security impacts are acceptable. I have the latest Samba 2.2.x server, and a bunch of NT4 (soon to be Windows 2000 Server) web-servers from which I'd like to serve IISROOT directories residing on a samba share. I've tried NTResKit srvany.exe'ing a "net use" command and lots of other hacks to wire in a "service" which provides a complete "net use W: \\server\WEB\ webpassword /user:weblogin" sort of thing. No dice. Soo.... how DO you automatically mount shares without having to login at the console, so that IIS/Cold-Fusion can serve content out of the Samba share? Thanks! M.B.
