Hello All, I have recently needed to add two new mounted network drives to a client workstation running Windows 2000 Professional. This machine is joined to the Samba 2.2.5-10 running PDC and has access to all of the network shares, with proper permissions that it was configured with when the PDC was brought online roughly one and a half months ago. The user now requires permanent access to two additional network shares and those have been added to the user account logon .bat file, the account has been added to the groups that have access to those shares and it has been confirmed that the shares is configured to allow all members of those groups access the share. Now, when the user logs onto the workstation, those new shares pause the logon .bat window and ask for a password. When the user account password is entered, the bat file continues and ends, without mounting up the new shares. So, I went into the My Network Places icon and attempted to manually mount those shares. This popped up a Username/Password window and it refused to mount up the share when the user account and password was entered. I also used the username/password combination of all the users that have access to those shares and not a single username/password combination functioned. (Although with using other username/passwords an error message about the credentials being used elsewhere popped up on the screen.) I have read some remarks on this list regarding machine passwords and how those are typically automatically updated by Windows 2000 machines across a Windows Domain. Could that be causing the problems that I am experiencing with this user account? If so, how does one go about fixing this issue? Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.
