Changed admin password and cannot map drive

[Guest]

I have a scheduled task on ServerA that uses robocopy to copy files from a
shared drive on ServerB to a folder on ServerA. The task runs as a network
user but I have never had to be logged on to the network for the task to run.
What is odd is that I recently changed the local admin password on ServerA
and now I can't map a drive to the shared drive on ServerB.

I didn't change any permissions, anything about the task, etc., just the
password for the local admin account. What would cause this behavior and how
can I fix it? The simple solution would be to map to ServerB using its local
admin account and password but that would require me to stay logged into
ServerA and I don't want to do that. I am running Windows Server 2000 w/SP4.
Thanks.

Make sure that the account used to run the task is also
defined on ServerB, with the correct password.
