Yeah, I've seen that before.. this is one for you guys to think about... I reset the password... to the same thing. I verified that a winnt 4 user could access the share using the user account and password and that an XP or 2k user couldn't. I reset the password to the same thing it already was and voila! the 2k and XP users can access the share using the exact same account and pass that was failing only moments prior. So... I have the solution to my problem but I'm still no closer to understanding why this is the case! Text is text, right? Corrupt accounts?? can't be cached credentials or anything like that since I was able to map to the drive from a machine that had never even touched that particular domain before! I'm stumped... IGS is stumped. Anyone have an idea?

I have users that were recently migrated from NT4 to Win2k and XP. They are trying to access a remote share on a Win NT 4 server using a domain account that has rights to the share. Problem... a user account that works fine from an NT workstation will not work on a 2000/xp workstation. (unknown user name or bad password) I've verified this by mapping the drive from an NT machine passing the same creds (domain\userid & valid pass) and it works fine. The exact same credentials fail onthe 2k/XP box. What gives? Thanks, Mick
