Hi,

I have two win2k member servers in the same GPO in the same active directory
domain. I have a Win XP client that connects to a VPN server and maps
drives using a login script to both of these servers. It works fine with
one server but with the other server I get the error below. I don't
understand why there would be any difference in connecting to these servers
with a single username and password since they are in the same domain and
even GPO?

"The password is invalid for \\servername\sharename.
Enter the username for 'servername'
Enter the password for 'servername'
I enter the information and get a quick login script error related to a bad
username or password.
After that the login script continues without a problem and maps the
remainder of the drives to the other server.

My login script is only:
net use m: \\servername1\sharename (results in an error)
net use n: \\servername2\sharename (works fine)
net use n: \\servername2\myshare (works fine)

Thanks,
A

 
In addition if I log the computer in to the active directory domain first and then run the vpn connection I receive no errors. It's only when the computer is connecting through the vpn and not logged into the domain.
