Non-domain shares - cache credentials

[Guest]

Hi all,

Is there any possibility to cache non-domain credentials for non-domain
shares? We are migrating from "P2P" to domain network and during it some of
servers are not yet in domain - but users have to use the shares on these
servers. Trouble is that Windows do not cache credentials used fo connect to
non-domain share (user have to enter credentials again after new login).

Is there any possibility to cache these non-domain credentials?

Thanx for any hint!

not the most secure solution
however, on the client PC, you could have a batch file run at startup to
connect to each remaining p2p resource

[startup script for userA]
net use \\server1\share /user:userA <password>
net use J: \\server2\share /user:userA <password> (if you are mapping a drive)

However, the user's password is contained in the batch file.
prevents requirement of manual credential entry however!

good luck
