I mapped the network drive of Server 2k3 to an XP xlient computer (join to domain),

However, whenever i access the network drive to the client computer, it always asking for a password.

What will i do to access directly the network drive.

  • Are the credentials you're supplying to the network drive the same as the user logged into the XP machine? Apr 10, 2013 at 2:40
  • @Cole. No it has different credentials. the credentials needed to access the network drive is the username password of Server Administrator

  • Why don't you just give that user access so that they don't need alternate credentials?

That's why it's asking for credentials. You can do this from the command line. It will prompt you for the username and password, and then will no longer prompt you for it afterwards.

net use <drive letter>: \\<servername>\<Share> /savecred /p:yes
