Desktop machine tries to map network drive with the wrong credentials

  • 772

I'm on a Windows domain. And I have a user that is trying to access the C$ admin share on one of our servers. He has all the proper permissions, and usually tries to access the share via run dialogue (\server\c$...) It does not work though.

If he goes to map a network drive, another users name is in the log on box to begin with. I'm guessing it's trying to use this users credentials to log on (username doesn't exist anymore.)

However, if he specifies his own credentials when mapping the drive, it will map successfully, then he can unmap it and the run dialogue will work fine. but upon reboot it'll forget and go back to the old user.

Windows 7 Pro x64 Server is 08 R2 Any thoughts?

Thanks

Chris

    Check out cmdkey (which is installed by default on Windows 7 as far as I know).
    With that you can list/delete/add credentials.
    If the wrong one listed there you should be able to remove it.
