Greetings
I have recently upgraded one of my PC’s to Vista ultimate so it can double as a media rig for my rather large collection.
The server is running Server 2003 Enterprise edition with Sp2 installed and drives are made available via the file server role addition.
I’ve mapped the drives to the vista box and all is well, media centre can access the shares and permissions block media from accidental deletion.
User credentials are as such that they only have read only access of the drives and can shutdown the server via the use of the batch file. This was done by creating a new group and using local policies to limit access and control.
Upon restarting the pc I’m greeted with the message “Could not connect to all network drives” and I have to re-enter the username and password.
To overcome the problem I created a simple batch file that runs at login to delete then remap the drives then tasked it to run at login. The problem is it fails to authenticate the user but by manually executing the batch file afterwards (say 5 seconds into gaining access to the desktop)the drives are successfully mapped.
It’s quite frustrating having vista lose the share credentials every time but it seems it’s just failing to authenticate the user every time with the server.
Anyone come across this or have any advice on how to solve this rather irritating problem?
