Re: Stop mapped drives from locking AD accounts lock when passwords are changed?

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



Assuming that you are mapping drives using different set of credentials
(which the symptoms you described seem to indicate), you can use Stored User
Names and Passwords. You can find more details regarding this at

Users have drives mapped to another domain and whenever their password
expires, they change that domain password and forget to change the
password on their mapped drive connection.

Their account gets locked out, and it's a huge hassle for everyone.

There is no way that they will all be able to remember to disconnect
their network drives before changing their domain password, so is
there anything that can be done to automate this or even just prompt
the user?

For instance, if your e-mail has an old password, it doesn't
immediately lock your account. It stops checking for mail and prompts
you to type in the correct password instead of repeatedly sending the
bad password and locking your account.

Is there something like this that can be made available for mapped
drives?
