Let me ask you this...on the SBS how is it showing you accessing the
shares? ie. In open files what username is it saying is accessing the
files?
Ours shows guest.

Strange, it is working for me flawlessly. I can search the network,
choose the SBS server, and go into any share that I want.

Hi Helio,
Thanks for your response.
We initially tried Rescoe explorer (was suggested on an HP site) and it
did not work.
My only concern with our "fix" is that is actually merely an exploit of
a security hole. This is no good for many reasons. Reason #1 it could
be "fixed" in a Windows update.
Thanks again for your input.

Dan,

I have been doing some tests here since your first post, and I have
found an easy way to avoid all problems on this issue. The name of the
solution is Resco Explorer and it can be found at www.resco.net .
Believe me, the LAN functionality connects easily also to SBS, and
together with the registry editor and the FTP client it is well worth
the 29.95 they are asking for it.

Hi I posted this in SBS NG and it was suggested I post here:

We are using an IPAQ running Windows Mobile 6. We want to access
shares on
the network.
We can access shares on a Windows XP Pro machine no problem but when
on the
same network trying to access a share on a Windows 2003 SBS the login
fails
and a messge box prompting for a username and password continues to
pop up
(because of the failed access).
The event viewer on the server though shows a successful login.
The user is administrator and has full control on the shares. We
verified
it is not a firewall issue. We verified it is not a WAP issue.
We actually took the ipaq to another network to see if it could access
folders and the same issue occurs and it seems to be only with the
Windows
2003 SBS (it works on Windows 2000 server).

We took a Dell handheld running Mobile PC 2003 and were able to access
the shares using a username and password to the share on the SBS
server. We had no problems accessing the folder with the Mobile
running the PC 2003.

=============
The above was our initial post after the above post we tried other
things while waiting for a response and this is what happened:

since the post we have been trying various
different things and can access the folder but we are really not
comfortable
with how it is accessing the folder (I will explain) so I don't really
consider it a resolution. As suggested I will post to the other group
as
well. Thanks for

the link.

While waiting for a post response I continued trying to access the
server
and did get into

the share we need to.

What I did was provided the netbios servername\username in the message
box
that prompted for

the usernaame and password. It appeared the sername was case
sensitive as
we tried multiple

times.
On the 2003 server there is an account called testaccount. servername
is
Testserver.local.
so in the IPAQ i open \\testserver\testfolder. it prompts for a
unsername
password and

domain.
If i put in testserver\testaccount as username it denies access,
HOWEVEr if
I put in

Testserver\testaccount (notice the capital T in testserver) it lets me
in.
When i initially got in though i didn't see any files in the folder.
Server
Manager on the

SBS showed a user Guest as being connected.
So i enabled guest and gave the Guest account full control to the
folder and
now I can see

all of the files and folders in the share.
So it looks like the server thinks it is the account GUEST.
Now we tried this over and over, and could only get in when the T in
testserver was capital.
To take it further we provide credentials Testserver (no username just
the
netbios name of

the sbs server we are trying to get into, there is no user account
called
testserver) and no

password and it lets us in the share (still showing it as connecting
as
GUEST).

So we can get it to work consistently but obviously this is not right.

Here is where it gets even more tricky.

WE needed to get this thing live in the actual work environment so we
planned on enabling

guest account on the server and doing the same thing by providing
netbios
name of the new

server we were connecting to.

So I went over the new location, enabled the guest account entered the
UNC
for the new

server (\\newserver\newfolder) and it let me right. It did not prompt
me
for any username

or password. It sees the user as Guest but the last credentials I
supplied
from the IPAQ

were from the test environment (Testserver).

Any ideas on what is going on because we are stumped?
