From: Bruce on
I cannot map a drive to a Win2k Server folder from Windows 7 Ultimate.
(The OS was previously Windows 7 Home Premium and was upgraded to Ultimate.)

The User Name and Password exists on the server and it is the same as the
one on the Windows 7 computer.

The User is a member of the group with rights to the shared folder.
(I have no problems with all the other systems that are running the gamut of
Windows versions)

Initially I couldn't even map to a Windows 2000 computer (not a server) but
was able to after
adding the user specifically to the folder's Sharing->Permissions and
Security
So I did the same on the Win2k Server, but it still didn't work.

When I try to map the error message says I may not have permission etc..

I tried to map the drive directly in the command pompt with Net Use.

In the Windows 7 computer I set:
Local Policies ->Security Options->Network Security: LAN Manager
Authentication level
set to: "Send LM & NTLM, use NTLMv2 session security is negotiated"

Still doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.
Let me know if I should post the question elsewhere also.

Thanks.

You need to modify a registry entry on your Windows 7 machine - see here:

Helo Pegasus,

Thanks for your response.

The LmCompatibility level in the Registry is already set to 1.
In the Registry I also noticed there was a ControlSet01, ControlSet02, and
the CurrentControlSet
LmCompatibility level were set to 1 for all.


With LAN Manager Authentication level set to: "Send LM & NTLM, use NTLMv2
session security is negotiated"

With Net Use I get System error 1240
"The account is not authorized to log into this station."
If I specify the domain name as the Server, and then the user name:
System error 5. Access denied

With LAN Manager Authentication level set to: "Send NTLMv2 response only"
System error 86 Specified password is not correct
If I specify the domain name as the Server, and then the user name:
System error 5. Access denied

I tried the other Authentication levels also.

The computer is a new one which came with Windows 7 Home Premium which would
not connect
because you need Professional or Ultimate.

So I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate.

I hope this information helps you help me.

Thanks.

Helo Pegasus,

The LmCompatibility level in the Registry is already set to 1.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks.
