net use Question

[cbob66]

Hi I'm trying to use net use to connect a windows 2000 Server that is
part of a workgroup to a windows 2003 server using a local account.
The 2003 Server is part of A windows NT Domain. The when I run the
command I"m getting a Login Failure error message (error 1326)

The syntax i'm using is the following

net use {windows 2003 Server name}\{Share Name} /USER:{Windows 2003
Server name}\{Login Name}

I've tried using IP addresses and get the same result. When I've tried
using a Domain Account as the user I get it to work but the problem
with that is it will ask for a password. The are not thrilled with
that solution. They want to use a Local Account and not a Domain
account. Anybody have any suggestions?



Thanks.

It seems you dropped some slashes. Try this:

net use \\YourServer\YourShare /user:YourServer\YourAccount

A better solution is to create an account for yourself on the Win2003
server whose password is synchronised with your local password.
In this case you will no longer be treated as a stranger, hence no
password challenge is necessary.

Thanks for the reply.
I did have the slashes in the file I just didn't put them in the post.
I'm thinking that the problem is because one server is in a workgroup
and the other is in a Domain. Would that Cause any Problems ?

Makes no difference.
