Hi Gary,
That is correct. However 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?
Thanks.

Hello Dan,
Thank you for your post.
My name is Gary Wang, and it is my pleasure to work with you on this
issue!
Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I
understand it, the issue is:
Your IPAQ which is running Windows Mobile 6 cannot access file share on
SBS
2003 server with login prompting pop up.
If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.
Suggestion :
==============
Considering the XP pro computers can access file share without any
problems, I think the configuration on server side should be right. And
for
the questions about mobile device with WM6, I would like to suggest that
you to use the Microsoft mobile
newsgroup(microsoft.public.pocketpc.phone_edition) for which should be the
most relevant resource for your question:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=micros
oft.public.pocketpc.phone_edition
Hope it helps.
I look forward to your reply. Also, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am happy to help. :-)
Thank you for your time and cooperation!
Best regards,
Gary Wang(MSFT)

| Hi,
| 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).
| Any advise would be appreciated.
| Thanks.
