unable unc to share on windows 2003 domain

recently installed build 5365 and have enjoyed it... this is whats happening thus far
The machine is not a member of anything other than a workgroup. I try to UNC to a domain share (Example: \\SERVER\SHARE) and I am continually being prompted for authentication, I tried providing NETBIOSNAME\LOGINID and password, that doesnt work. I tried FQDN@DOMAIN.COM and password and that doesnt work... 1. I have turned off the firewall 2. Turned off UAC
I dont know what else it could be? Anyone?

"I try to UNC to a domain share (Example: \\SERVER\SHARE) and I am continually being prompted for authentication" You sure it shouldn't be \\DOMAIN\Username
There would have to be an account in the Domain with access to the share I suspect to do this, you would then use \\DOMAIN\Username to authenticate get access to share. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Correct... however it keeps prompting (says incorrect username/password) Im telling ya its some form of protection (the firewall is off but I do notice that if I open anything new it needs to add it to the firewall?!?).
Wierd.
Anyone else with this issue?

its some how Vista is blocking maybe udp/tcp 137-139 possibly which is passing the credentials...
The strange part was it was working, and I have tested this on various domains now.

It seems to work fine here... instead of trying to connect to the server name itself, go for the IP address and see if this helps. Does seem to be a bug perhaps though. Make sure your servers have been notched up to accept Windows 2000 and above though - can't remember off the top of my head, but it's in Active Directory Users & Computers somewhere.

Zack,
yeah its not a DNS issue, it connects fine either way, just wont successfully authenticate... Im very stressed about this as it appears everything else is working... on the test machines you have are they stand alone (not part of a domain) because that is what I am testing. These are not member workstations to any domain just workgroup.

No this is normal ability since NT days... its basically causes NT to prompt for authentication when accessing a share on a domain...

I saw someone else reporting that kind of behavior/problem as new to 5365, specifically accessing domain-based server from workgroup-only Vista 5365 machine.
I'm actually seeing that issue myself, within the workgroup, from Vista to existing XP SP2 machines. If the credentials I've used for logging into Vista 5365 don't transparently authenticate me to the remote XP machine, sometimes the credentials are accepted in the authentication prompt that comes up, but other times no amount of correctly-entered credentials will succeed. If you set the Vista username and password to match the necessary account information for accessing the remote machine, it works every time without issue (therefore not seeming to be any sort of "firewall" or "can't get there from here with those credentials" issue).
This pure-workgroup scenario was new to 5365; i.e. I've been accessing these same XP SP2 machines successfully (after being prompted for authentication because the accounts normally don't match) in 5342 and earlier.

Alan,
Thank the Lord someone else besides me is seeing this... I did post this as a bug but if you could also that would help push the issue.

Andre,
I have submitted two now but no return assigned numbers have been issued, Also I have continually searched the bug area and the only UNC issue I see is another person dealing with authenticate when trying to access a file rather than the share itself.

Sorry for the delay; it was Feedback ID 64232, for anyone within the closed beta to see/validate/comment on that.

James,
This is a known issue and you will find it has been resolved in 5381.1
workaround for me on 65 has been to wait a few seconds and try the domain\id again.

I seem to have found the issue, for some reason Vista is requiring the client to enable File and Print to access a resource on another server, this is odd behavior and has never been a requiredment to access a remote resource. For some reason with out FnP enabled on the adapter it doesn not allow access. I also noticed I am unable to start my computer browser service.

I hope this helps.
The only way I could get my mapped drives to work again from my laptop (XP) to my desktop (Vista) was to re-map with the administrator login, not my account name (which IS an admin and is same on both machines).
So I had to go into safe mode on Vista to add a password to my administrator account and then re-map my shares with the admin login.
I don't know why this should be but at least I have the UNC's back. I hope it works for you.

The machine is not a member of anything other than a workgroup. I try to UNC to a domain share (Example: \\SERVER\SHARE) and I am continually being prompted for authentication, I tried providing NETBIOSNAME\LOGINID and password, that doesnt work. I tried FQDN@DOMAIN.COM and password and that doesnt work... 1. I have turned off the firewall 2. Turned off UAC
I dont know what else it could be? Anyone?
