bennyd69 0 Posted January 17, 2000 Hi! Did anybody knows why I can't connect to a samba server with windows 2000? I know that win98 had this problem but it was fixed for in the technet site. there is no fix for w2k. can anybody help me? thx for advance Bennyd Share this post Link to post
vf 0 Posted January 17, 2000 You need to enable encrypted passwords in samba, then it should work, at least here it does. For me, the other direction is not working (accessing a 2000 share from samba). Still haven't found anything to solve that. Share this post Link to post
bennyd69 0 Posted January 17, 2000 Can't I Disable encrypted passwords in win2k insted of the samba server? because I have a lot of nt4 wks in my org that still use samba srv. Please reply Share this post Link to post
vf 0 Posted January 18, 2000 Should work too, if you know the registry path... But why didn't you use encrypted passwords from the beginning on? Share this post Link to post
bennyd69 0 Posted January 19, 2000 Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Param eters and go to Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword change it to 1, boot the system and that's it it's working like a chaem Bennyd Share this post Link to post
vf 0 Posted January 19, 2000 But what is easier - changing the registry on _all_ workstations or just making _one_ samba-server use encrypted passwords? Share this post Link to post
