Re: Mapping Network drive Window2000 vs XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Actually it will work for ADMIN shares, as long as the account on the Target
Machine has Admin rights to the system (and of course the share).

I think your method works for ordinary shares but not
for the administrative shares C$, D$ etc.

There are two other ways as follows:

1) If using MAP network drive from Windows Explorer, click on the
"Connect
Using a different name" and specify an account on the box you wish to map
to
(make sure that you use domainanme\username - in this case DOMAINNAME is
the
net bios name of the machine,
2) If using a Batch file use the following:
NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume
[/USER:[domainname\]username] HERE DOMAIN would be
the
name of the machine example: b\bob
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[/SMARTCARD]
[/SAVECRED]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

The persistent:YES switch will lock the NET USE command into the registry
and all should be well.

Hi,

Until now, I was used to map drives (or directories) between Win2000
(A)
and
XP (B) machines. Both had the same account and was not in a domain.
For
example if I wanted A to map to B d: drive, I had just to write \\B\c$
and
it was done.

If I try the same from XP to XP, this does not work. I get always a
login
windows for a guest user where I should enter the Password. I have no
idea
what this password should be (also did not find out how to change it
on
both
XP machines).

Can someone explain me (or tell me about an article) how I should do
it?
Do
I have to explicitly the B drive declare as shared? Does the d$ or e$
"trick" not work anymore?

Thanks,
Hubert



On WinXP Professional you should disable Simple File Sharing
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=307874#3).
