Hi. I have a NT domain with NT, W2K, W2K3 servers.
Log in as domain admin in Vista PC. On Vista Business 6.0.6000 x64-based I can map a share from a NT server, but not from Win2K, WinXP or Win2K3. I have ping from the server,"Client for Microsoft networks" is installed. For command "net view \\server2k3", I receive "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied". This is a domain admin account, works fine when I am on XP, map is ok for NT shares. Just W2K, W2K3 and XP shares can't be mapped from this Vista. How to make a map ?

Goto the network sharing and enable Network discovery and file sharing services to see if it helps. If firewall is enabled on Vista, make sure File and Print Sharing is excluded.

Network discovery and file sharing is enabled. I see the other hosts. Firewall is disabled. When run \\server\share, I receive "The referenced account is currenly locked out and may not be logged to". But domain account is NOT locked out. Then who is locked ??

at least for the XP machines. Link Layer Topology Discovery is available from microsoft as a download.

I see all hosts in the domain - net view works fine. I can ping them. I can't map their shares.

Need to take ownership of something. Matching accounts?
