External Drives Loose Sharing on Reboot - Vista Ultimate
In Vista Ultimate...
I have several (8) USB external HDD's (Maxtor, Western Digital, 500GB MyBooks) which need to be shared on the network. I have successfully been able to create shares and permissions and theses shares are visible from other workstations on the network... However, when the Vista machine that the external HDD's are connected to reboots, the shares are gone and must be re-created. This happens fairly consistantly, but NOT every reboot. This never happened in XP Pro, and I have other Vista machines that this has not happen to. Is there something other than sharing that needs to be done to maintain sharing? Has anyone experienced this phenomenon?

External Drives Loose Sharing on Reboot - Vista Ultimate
We have seen some cases like this one. I believe that external drive needs a new firmware.

External Drives Loose Sharing on Reboot - Vista Ultimate
Aart,
I'm sorry that you're experiencing trouble. Vista supports NTLM v2 by default. You may need to either upgrade the firmware of your NAS to support NTLM v2, or you can lower the security policy in Vista. This is, however, not recommended for security reasons. You can lower the security setting by opening regedit and changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel from 0x3 to 0x1. Again, this is not recommended for security reasons. Please post back to let us know if this worked. "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: We have seen some cases like this one.
