Hello,
In our Windows 2003 domain, we have 2 Mac’s left that are used with no issues. It’s very simple, they get their email via OWA, and I was able to successfully use SMB to connect them to their home drive on a Windows 2003 server. All has worked for months. All of a sudden this morning, both users cannot access their home drives. If I click on ‘Go -> Connect to Server’ and try to connect to the server/share I get one of the following errors:
-‘The finder cannot complete the operation because data in “SMB://server name/share name” could not be read or written.’
– If i broswe the network and click on the server it tells me ‘the alias could not be opened.’
Any other Windows server will prompt me with the SMB/CIFS File System Authentication box where I can login with the Windows credentials. This server does not, though it has in the past because that’s how I got it working. Is there a way to force the pop-up box to come up? Is the Mac somehow cacheing the credentials for this connection to this server since I have accessed it in the past? Any thoughts would be really appreciated!
