Re: Using cached credentials

I am not sure the issue. After they establish VPN and do "net use \\servername\sharename", what's the system error?

HELP! I started working this new job several months ago. I have about 50
users that work from home regularly. I have them logging into their laptops
using their cached credentials and that works great. They use Cisco VPN
client and they are able to RDP into their workstations at work. However, we
would like them not to RDP into their workstation so that they can have
access to the network drives. We want them to use cached credentials to
login to the laptop, use our VPN client and then access their network drives.
I created a script to map these network drives automatically but the network
indicates it requires user credentials and passwords (which would be okay)
but when we put in the user's id and password it responds that the user is
already logged into the system and can't login twice. We were able to get
everything to work if we logged into the computer using a local account, VPN
into the network and then used the user's id and password. I am sure it is
probably a local computer policy but can't seem to figure it out. Any help
is appreciated.
