| | Domain Account Credentials to a Workgroup Process (Vista Business) The setup: Laptop: Vista Business, in a WORKGROUP, and logging in with an account with administrative privledges. Server: 2003 AD Server, in a domain, i.e. "PSM" I want to run a local service on Vista machine using a domain account. Tried: 1) Putting in domain creds (PSM\account1) in "log on" tab in service properties. This fails with a "The account name is invalid or does not exist..." error. 2) Browsing a different "Location" from the same tab. I can't browse anything other than the local machine... PSM doesn't even show up, even though we're on the same subnet and I can browse computer names and shares. 3) Tried tossing the domain account into the local admins group. Once again, I can't browse anything other than the local machine. No, I can't really try to trick the auth providers by using the same account name and same workgroup name as my server accounts. "What are you trying to do?" Okay: I need to connect multiple non-domain laptops to a file server share, using a single AD account that is hidden from the local user. I need the interaction between laptop and server to happen, regardless of the physical network. I'm completely bald now, from pulling out all my hair... -JW |
