I have a line in my kixtart script for creating a drive mapping on a server that is not a member of my AD domain. So far it has been working fine, but for some reason it stopped working this morning. Code:
use L: /d use L: "\\web-svr\resources" /user:web-svr\User1 /password:123Access123
My DNS entries and WINS entries for the server are working properly. Passwords have not changed. The local user account on WEB-SVR is not disabled. I was able to manually map a network drive using the exact information from the script.
Does anyone know if this might be a caching issue or syntax issue? Perhaps there is a better way to map a network drive on a server that is outside and AD domain????
Thanks for any help,
Matthew

Solved my problem:
I needed to add quotation marks around my domainname\username. I have a '-' in the real server name. I checked the remote server's event log and found that the characters before the '-' were being passed as the user name, not the entire domainname\username combination.
Phew!!

Hmm.... Interesting story.
My primary user domain existed before any other domains. Another agency existed with their domain but there was never a reason to share resources. The third domain was created because the idea was that, there would be so many outerlying agencies attaching to the new resource that neither of the existing domains wanted the "alien" presence on their systems. Thus, a third domain was created.
However, the project did not mature as planned and no outside agencies joined the project. So, we reengineered the domain structure and moved the resources into the second domain. The third domain is now dismantled and we have to proper communication between the first and second domains now.
... In a nut shell....
