I have a Linux-based NAS running Samba with user-level password
protection (the same userid and password as Vista). I can browse files, etc., but I am unable to run any executable files. UAC prompts me for approval, but then give me a "Login failu unknown username or bad password" error. It must be a UAC issue because I have no problems when I turn UAC off, but I'd like to leave it enabled if possible. Anyone else experience this issue and have a solution? What exactly is Vista sending as the username and password when elevating an application via UAC? Maybe I could set up a dummy user on my NAS that reflects the user and password Vista is sending. Thanks. |

It could be the LM authentication issue.

Something I just ran across: If you have drive letters mapped to a remote share, they will be disconnected when UAC kicks in. Solution: Use UNC names. (To test this, open a command prompt and enter NET USE - You'll see the drive mappings. Open a command prompt with Administrator privs, and NET USE will show disconnected drives. Stupid behavior, IMO). -- Sengfeng |
