Vista - Using script/FSO to write files with authentication

Hello All,

I have a somewhat odd problem. I have a script that I use to query our
company LDAP server and additional databases. I then take this data
and create html web pages on a file share. Not rocket science by any
means, but the problem is that I have moved my system to a new
Domain(Domain B) and the file share that I write the web pages to is in another
Domain(Domain A). When I use the OpenTextFile method, I get an error :

"There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request"

When you think about it, this is likely what should happen. But I need
a way around this. I will need to leave my system in Domain B and still
write to files in Domain A. I tried mapping the share that the script writes
to, and I can read/write to the share no problem. But I run the script,
and it still fails.

I tried useing "runas" to run the script as a user with credentials in
Domain A but no matter what I try, I get a "Logon Failure: Unknown
user name or bad password", and to make matters worse, "runas"
seems to only like .exe files. When I try to run the script with
Domain B cedentials, I get the error "xxxxx.vbs is not a valid Win32
application".

Does anyone know how I can get around this issue ? Will ADODB.Stream
provide the answer ? Is there any way to "authenticate" the FileSystemObject
so that it can write to the share in Domain A from Domain B ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ever feel dumber than a Stump ? Well I should over this post.
The solution was right before my eyes. Instead of using the UNC
in my script to get to the share, I used the mapped drive instead.
Boy do I feel stupid.

out the error.
