Network disk access password not saved
I'm experiencing a strange problem. I have two Vista biz pcs, one is a laptop and the other is a desktop. I have prchased a network RAID drive for backups and storage and I have created 3 volumes over this drive. The drive file system is unix based, with a nice http-like administration interface: I have to say to be quite satisfied by this unit, whilst is not so fast and performing it seems robust and it makes honestly its job. However it showned a strange acces problem since the beginning. I created three network disks to access to the drive volumes within the MyComputer window. Well, one of these "disk" has a password protected access. On the laptop there is no problem while on the desktop it is impossible to save the access password. Each time I reboot there is the need to repeat the access procedure and notwithstanding there is the checkbox for a "save password" feature, Vista doesn't save the password so I must reenter it any time I first access to the disk. Once it has been entered the work is ok, and Vista never asks again a second time. This means that the "conversation" between Vista and the drive is never lost. I there anyone who have seen the same problem ? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Guba GUBA *-----------------------------------------------------------* *If something can go wrong, it will.* -(The Murphy Law)- *If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.* -(Corollary at The Murphy Law)- Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Hello,
It sounds like you are using a home edition of Windows Vista on your desktop, and a business/ultimate edition on your laptop. Somewhere along the line, Microsoft decided remembering windows networking passwords accross reboots was a business-only feature, so this isn't available in the home editions. - JB "Guba" wrote in message ...

No Jimmy, unfortunately it is Vista Business on both computer. Any other idea ? -- Guba GUBA *-----------------------------------------------------------* *If something can go wrong, it will.* -(The Murphy Law)- *If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.* -(Corollary at The Murphy Law)- Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

If you go to the following screen on your desktop:
- Click start - Click control panel - Click User Accounts and family safety - Click user accounts - Click Manage your network passwords (on the left) - Click the add button Is the option for "A Windows logon credential" greyed out? If not, try adding your password here and see if it remembers it. - JB "Guba" wrote in message ... No Jimmy, unfortunately it is Vista Business on both computer.

Network disk access password not saved
Hey. I'm having the same problem. I'm running Windows Vista Business, and I've mapped a network drive that requires a logon. The username and pass I use for the network drive are diffrent from my windows logon. I've tried having windows remember username and pass, but every time I reboot I get the message "Can't reconnect to all network drives" or something along that line. I then have to open the drive, and manually type in the password. It remembers the username. I've tried pressing use a diffrent user and I've check the remember password button. This is a recurring problem on 8 diffrent computers, all running vista business. Any suggestions? -- kellendil Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Any suggestions? -- kellendil Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com In the Windows Mail program, the password usually isn't remembered if you enter it and apply the checkmark saying to remember it in the same session. This suggests that it would be worth checking for your situation if it will remember both of them if they are applied in separate sessions. Robert Miles |

Just replicate the procedure that wased suggested to me by Jimmy Brush on each of your computers. It worked for me great. kellendil;1257946 Wrote: Hey. I'm having the same problem.
