Never mind. There is no Samba installed. This is an old version of VisionFS which was before samba. They have to install samba. Sorry.

Situation: Environment is Windows 2003 SBS. Domain in Windows environment is contoso.local. SCO Unix server is in this environment. It is named unixsrv.contoso.com. User workstations are XP Pro but are not joined to the Domain. Instead they are all in workgroup. All workstations use a mapped drive on the UNIX host. When XP workstations are joined to the domain to simplify life and administration, no longer can they map the UNIX share and access the files. The mapping works but they cannot open the share. The error is &quot;Access is Denied&quot;<br />
If I invoke root and it's password (which I use to login to unix) i says permission denied.<br />
<br />
If I ftp to the UNIX host using the root account (yea, I know that's not the right idea) and the password, I can ftp files all day long.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts on how to aaddress this? &nbsp;i really need the mapped drives.

Windows XP workstations cannot map UNIX shares

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
