Allow unattended program to logon from another computer in home network

[Ken K]

I run Win2K on my computer and have permissions to allow other
computers' users to signon to my L: drive as the folder for backup
images of their computers with Acronis. Presently, that is
accomplished by manually going through the steps of starting the backup
at which point the other computer receives a dialog box asking for the
login, which is \\KEN\user-name, and "password". This works but I would
like to know if there is a way that I can set up permissions to have
this happen without having the remote computer user have to start the
process manually so that it can be set up to go once a week unattended.

Present permissions are Guest, Guests, individual users, administrators,
power users.

Thanks

Hi,

One option is to map drives using logon, startup or some other script. If
you use batch file to perform backup you could just add another line into
batch file to map the drive.

Command line would be:

net use x: \\server\share /user:username password

where
x: is name of network drive
\\server\share is name of computer and share where the backups will be
stored
username is username created on "server"
password is a password for user created on "server"

I hope this helps,

Mike
