    Access a share via UNC on a 2003 server?

    Hi.

    I need some help on a problem.

    I have an application that is installed on a windows 2003 server. Everytime the clients are started they look for new updates on the server.

    This is done via an UNC path. \\servername\sh are\subfoler.
    After an upgrade from 2000 server to 2003 server the UNC mapping is not working any more.

    When I try to reach the share by typing \\sessrvername\ share in the RUN window I get promted for username and password. That is my problem. I need to get access to the share without any password.

    I have tried to add EVERYONE and have given the user FULL CONTROLL.
    I have also added ANONYMOUS USER but that didn't help either.

    Does anyone have a solution for my problem?

    I need to create a share on the server that is accessable via an UNC path without username or password.

    You could create a script to run the net use command on login. This would map the drive locally, and it takes a username/pw as options...

      We thought about doing a script, but that was not a good solution.
      The UNC worked for on the 2000 server, it should be possible to use it on the new 2003 server.
