| | Map network drive Using Vista Business, I'm unable to map a drive on our LAN. The computer sees the network server and shares, but when I try to map a share, I get a dialog box requesting username and password. After completing that, I get a second box showing server/user then a blank for password. When I fill that out and enter, I get an error message Logon unsuccessful: Windows is unable to log you on. Be sure that your username and password are correct. It's very frustrating because I did a clean reinstall from XP. |

Was the Vista computer properly joined to the domain? -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ |
