Mapping A Share Fails to Connect At Startup
I am using Windows 7 I access my ReadyNAS Duo via Frontview I created one user: user1 and one group: users I have one share: files The share has been set with the following permissions: CIFS...
Couple of notes regarding this attempt.
This code gives a switch error.
net use z: \\nas_name\share /user:username password /persistent:yes /savecred
I had to use this:
net use z: \\nas_name\share /persistent:yes /savecred
and then it prompts me for the user and password
The share is then mapped per the norm and I can access it. Upon restart I still get the "Failed to reconnect error", but if I click on the mapped share it "thinks" for a few seconds and then opens the drive as if it has no problem connecting. If I look in the Credential Manager the credentials are saved under the Windows Credentials area.
So basically what this is telling me is that Windows remembers my credentials but it doesn't use them when the computer reboots only when I double click on the share manually....???
Pulling out my hair.
