Hi all...
I have 4 PCs in a LAN with Windows XP Professional that logon to a domain... The problem is that, to access shared files on another PC, one has to enter the username and password of the other user.
How can I use file sharing on a domain without prompting for username/password?
Thanks in advance.
I never set any security on the folders I wanted to share across the VLAN so it bnever asked for any credentials.
1 you would ahve to remove the security from each computer. or if u manager all computer from one server you can set group policies to allow access to each user to access any computer.
The WNetAddConnection API is used to connect to a shared folder and map it to a local drive. If you don't pass a local name to the function, the shared folder is connected but not mapped to a local drive. Once the shared folder is connected, copy the files to the shared folder and then disconnect it by calling WNetCancelConnection.
Declare Function WNetAddConnection Lib "mpr.dll" _
Alias "WNetAddConnectionA" ( _
ByVal lpRemoteName As String, _
ByVal lpPassword As String, _
ByVal lpLocalName As String) As Long
Declare Function WNetCancelConnection Lib "mpr.dll" _
Alias "WNetCancelConnectionA" ( _
ByVal lpName As String, _
ByVal fForce As Long) As Long
