Re: run -> unc server name (just one particualar one) -> "extended error has ocurred"

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

oh ok, i got it...

I saw an event id 14 Kerberos warning in the event log. I didn't
really pay that much attention to it, because it didn't really pop up
when I typed the UNC name, and because the other servers in the domain
worked fine.

Apparently there's such a thing as a "Stored User Name and Passwords"
applet that lets you set up credentials for when you want to log onto
domains that you're not a member of".

I accessed it using

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

and sure enough there was an entry there for my misbehaving server. I
removed it and then it asked me for my credentials, as it was supposed
to have done.

It would have been a lot easier if they'd have said..."Oh, wrong
credentials" not "An extended error has occurred"...anyway..thanks
