In my place of business we have a PC, which is part of a domain, but
usually not logged on with a domain account (rather a local
administrative user account instead). We want to be able to set up
some shares from this PC.
Let's call it MachineA. From any other PC, we try to his \\MachineA to
see its list of shares and get the error:
\\MachineA is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to
find out if you have access permissions. The referenced account is
currently locked out and may not be logged on to.
It doesnt matter if I use netbios name or IP. The computer I'm using
when Im trying to access this (MachineB) is also logged in as a local
admin (not a domain user). So what is machine A talking about.. about
the referenced account being locked out? It should be prompting me for
a a domain user or local user account, instead of just spitting this
error at me.
I poked around the web and found that if I do from my machine:
net use \\MachineA\IPC$ /u:domain\user
and enter my domain account's password, then I can access \\MachineA
just fine. At least until the next time I log off my machine. But this
shouldn't be necessary anyway. If I'm logged in as a local admin on my
MachineB, and I walk over to MachineA and try: \\MachineB
I get prompted for a logon. If I supply a local or domain user
credentials, I get access. So it works one way, but not in reverse.
Why isn't this working on MachineA?
Thanks much in advance for any tips.
