VPN Client and cached creds?

G

Guest

We have an SBS2K3 domain and a tablet pc which is a member of the AD domain.

This user bounces in and out of the office and when in the field, wants to
VPN back into the network to access network shares as well as Exchange.

When he establishes the VPN connection, and tries to access a share, he's
prompted for username and password. When he enters it a message saying that
his username and pass have already been tried comes up and he's denied access
even though he's logged in with cached credentials.

Can anyone help me get around this?

many thanks in advance!

A script that maps the drives for him, entering the correct domain tag for
the username.

net use x: \\server.fq.dmn.com\sharename /user:DOMAIN\username *password*
/persistent:NO
(Prompt for and replace password.. VBScript or batch even..)

Make sure he has no persistent mappings..

And for exchange - if he uses that more than anything else - you might want
to look into RPC over HTTP. It makes things simpler for the majority of
your mobile users.
