Windows XP logon script

[Panagiotou]

Good morning...

I have a stand-alone server windows 2000 from which i have a folder sharing
for my users.
When a windows 2000 pro user try to see the sharing, a logon script appears
to enter username and password.That's OK.
But when a windows XP pro user try to connect to the sharing, the logon
script that appears has only the choice to enter a password!!!The username
can not be modify and is the Guest account.Why?
Is there any way to change this and display me a logon script with username
and password just like windows 2000???

Entering user names and passwords while executing a logon
script is not a good idea. If you have a server, and if it runs
an IT domain, then you should register your PCs on that
domain. This will give you the opportunity to register all
user accounts on the domain controller (i.e. your server)
and to manage their passwords and access permissions
centrally.

Thanks for your quick answer...

But this server MUST be a stand -alone server for serious reasons.Do you
have any idea how to make windows XP give me the choice to enter both
username and password???

Thanks again...

Many stand-alone servers are domain controllers.
Why shouldn't it be?

I have lots of ideas but at the same time I'm trying to suggest
that your current method of running things may be detrimental
to your system. However, since you do not wish to reveal
why you run your system in this strange way, here is a sledge
hammer approach. Good luck!

[1] @echo off
[2] set /p name=Please enter your user name:
[3] set /p pass=...and your password:
[4] net use s: \\YourServer\Finance /user:%name% %password%
