Network Access - Add username and password to registry
Hi guys,
We have a WD 4 TB which we use to save some data on... Unfortunately, after I bought it, I realised you can only sync it with AD if you have less than 32 users.... So, as it is, this NAS device is not joined to the domain, because we can sync any users or rights etc.
We created one user called USER with default password as PASSWORD.
So if users do access that device over the network, for example \\192.168.10.7\files
It will prompt them for a username and password, on which they enter USER and PASSWORD and voila!
My question is... is there ANYWAY one can add a registry entry, to automatically enter the username and password when you access \\192.168.10.7\***
There is no way on the NAS device to remove authentication, already check... :(
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP :)

and you can allso do it in cmd line or login script with this command
net use n: \\192.168.10.7\files /PERSISTENT:YES /user:<domain>\<username> <password>
there is probably 3th way .. go with unc path if you save credentials to credential manager in control panel
net use n: \\192.168.10.7\files /PERSISTENT:YES /user:<domain>\<username> <password>

I would map a network drive in the login script using the
net use h: \\192.168.10.7\files /user:username password
Or depending on the version of Windows the clients/servers are you could use Group Policy preferences to achieve the same thing.
net use h: \\192.168.10.7\files /user:username password
Or depending on the version of Windows the clients/servers are you could use Group Policy preferences to achieve the same thing.
you can map it to drive letter with different user name and password.
with explorer you can do it by clicking tools --> map network drive -- select drive letter to use and choose folder \\192.168.10.7\files
check tap connect using different credentials
