Hi,
I've been searching around on the forums to figure out how to do this. I am setting an NASLite-SMB at my workplace. My users are on a company related domain and they can't access or map a drive letter to NAS box (authorization error). The key issue that I'm trying to solve is to have my users access the NAS box as a drive letter off their PCs. In my searches in the forums I came across the net use command (from
http://www.serverelements.com/phpBB2/vi ... ab462f1952)
net use \\NASLite-SMB\Disk-1 /USER:NAS-User
Is there a way to use the above command on a pc (win xp or 2000) to map a network drive to the nas file server?
Additional thoughts about this issue:
- I could re-configure the server to be an NASLite-FTP box, but then I'm not sure how my users could map a drive letter via ftp (?anyone have any ideas?)
- Alternatively, theres the NASLite-NFS configuration. I found great instructions on this thread:
http://www.serverelements.com/phpBB2/vi ... ab462f1952
However, the above solution is more involved in getting my users to install nfs client (I'm trying to keep the solution on their side as simple as possible)
- Lastly, I have a machine that's not part of domain (it is running windows 2000) and it is on the same workgroup (i.e. default) as the NAS-SMB box. I can map the NAS box to a drive letter. However, I can't share out the drive...has anyone come up with a way to do it this way? (in other words my domain users can see other shared folders from this machine)
I'd appreciate any info and help.
Sincerely,
El
