The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

W2k3 SBS R2 Map Drive authentication issues when using non domain member PC's.

Asked by cdharris2005 in Windows Networking, Windows 2003 Server, SBS Small Business Server

Tags: drive, map, sbs

I'm new to this...so I hope that this makes sense.  

I have a small dentist office that's has deployed a w2k3 Small Business Server.  They brought with them from their old office a mishmash of operating systems that including a few Win2000 systems, an XP Home, and a bunch of XP Pro's.  

Here's my problem.  Their EMR system is very picky, and I've mapped network drives to Z: manually on each workstation to make it work.  Since it's such a mishmash, and they're not members of the domain...they're getting a ton of error messages every few hours or when the connection between the server and the client times out.  

The only way they can fix the problem is to open a share folder on the server, enter their credentials, then double click the map drive to re-populate the folder listing.  

Is there a way that I can keep them from having to do this process over and over again without adding every machine to the domain?  Since it's SBS there's a DC configured, however no PC's have been added to the domain due to the client's wishes of not paying for the extra CAL's associated.  

Any help would be great.  

Thanks!
