Mapped Network drives from second domain

[Leo Gonzales]

My Windows XP machines logon to my primary domain and
connect to mapped network drives from primary doamin
successfully. I can also map drives from a second doamin;
however, the drive does not remain connected at next
startup even if reconnect at next logon is selected when
mapped. What do I need to do to allow XP machines to
remain connected to mapped network drives on second domain
after computer is restarted?


Thank you,

Leo

Not possible if there are no trusts between the domains. What about writing
a batch file that maps the drives using the correct remote credentials? You
can put it on your desktop & run it manually.

net use x: \\server\share /user:domain2\username

Enter your password when prompted.

you may want to create a logon batch file to map the 2nd domain.
