reconnect map drive on logon and prompting for password

[Guest]

Hello everyone, Is there a way I could have XP prompt me for the map drive
password on logon. I mean much like the nice way 2000 did it, when 2000
couldn't re-establish connection on logon it prompted for the password.

I searched for this for about a week with no luck. The primary reason behind
this issue is that the map drive server is a SunOS that no one can touch and
it doesn't allow us to save passwords. Apparently related to the SMB
encryption thing we had to patch the registry for. I know how to get turn
encryption on SunOS SMB but as I said no one can touch that machine. I
greatly appreciate your help in advance.

Thank You, Wasim

Look at the "net use" command in a logon script. At a cmd prompt type "net
use /?" for details on it's use. Note that this is a possible security faux
pas.

Yeah sorry forgot to mention I was doing that, but IT got really upset when
they did their monthly security check. I was wondering if I could copy the
one in 2000 to XP some how. I also did a logon script that runs DIR on the
map drive and that got it to prompt for the password because the drive its
accessing wasn't connected. Unfortunatly that worked on only some of the
computers and wasn't consistent.
