There are special rules involved in authenticating from one
Windows NT machine to another Windows NT machine when both machines
are
not in a common Windows NT Domain. Although you can use the "net
use"
command to authenticate to the IPC$ share on any Windows NT
machine, this
example will use mapping a drive to another Windows NT
machine as the
method of authentication. If you wish to map a drive to
SHARE1 on
SERVER1, which is a member of the AAA NT Domain, you need to
authenticate
to the AAA NT Domain with your AAA NT Domain username and
password.
From Windows NT, you need to right-click on the Network
Neighborhood and select "Map network drive". Enter "\\SERVER1\SHARE1"
as
the path. If you are not configured to use the same WINS Servers as
SERVER1 for NetBIOS->IP name resolution, you may need to specify
the path
as "\\XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\SHARE1", where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the
numeric IP
address of SERVER1. If your own Windows NT machine is
configured to
"Enable DNS for Windows Resolution" and you have entered
SERVER1's DNS
Domain Suffix in your "Domain Suffix Search Order", then
you can still
specify the path as "\\server1\SHARE1". For example, if
SERVER1's DNS
name is "server1.somedept.unc.edu", then its DNS Domain
Suffix would be
"somedept.unc.edu"). This explains why it is important
for Windows NT
machines to have NetBIOS names set the same as their
DNS hostnames.
Otherwise, you can specify the path with SERVER1's full
DNS name such as
"\\server1.somedept.unc.edu\SHARE1". Note that you
cannot specify the
path with a full DNS name under Win9x.
Under the "Connect As" box, you should give "AAA\userID" with
userID as your AAA NT Domain UserID. You will need to specify the NT
Domain name before your username only if the Windows NT account you
will
be using to connect to SERVER1 is in the AAA Domain SAM database
instead
of in the local SAM database on SERVER1 itself. You will not
need to
specify an NT Domain if SERVER1 is a "stand-alone" server and
not a member
of an NT Domain.
