cached share credentials?

[corinne]

Hi evryone,

Here is my problem.

Server A
Machine logged in with UserA Password1
DirectoryA shared giving access to user UserA Password1

Server B
Machine logged in with UserA Password2
DirectoryA accessed via a mapped drive or Network neighbourhood
I was prompted for the user name and Password (I used UserA Password1)

We wanted to make the password the same on both machines.

So I disconnected any mapped drive/directory appearing under Network Places
on Server B (logically it should have removed any reference to Server A
beeing associated with UserA Password1)
I disabled the share on Server A
I changed the password on Server A so that it would use UserA Password2
I reset the share giving access to UserA Password2

Then I went to reconnect to the Share from Server B.
I am told access denied because the User name and Password associated with
Server A is not correct.

I am thinking that somewhere on Server B the old password is till associated
with UserA Password1, cached maybe.

There were no mapped drives related to Servert 1 before I changed the
password.

Questions:

How can I find this "hidden" association between Server A and "UserA
Password1"? And how can I reset it to accept the new password?

Thank you for any suggestion you may provide!!!

You can use the commands net use and net session to view and delete any
sessions. A reboot for sure should clear things up. Windows XP can use
"stored credentials" and mapped drives can use persistent credentials that
also need to be changed to reflect new passwords. --- Steve
