Windows 7 Map Network Drive

[BoarderX47]

Hello all. I am running Windows 7 Professional and I am trying to connect to a school server by mapping the network drive. The server requires a separate user-name and password. When I try to enter those into the screen I am prompted with it says "The network password is not correct" I know for a fact it is and I also know I have access to this server because I was on it the other day while I was still running vista. If anyone could enlighten me on this I would appreciate it.

Thanks

I'm in a similar boat if anyone has the answer on how to ditch the domain.

-Shady.
(Or at least, I think that's what I need to do?)

delete domain in user name

Same Problem.

I have e.g. user user1
I am in WORKGROUP dom1
Windows 7 creates dom1/user1 to map a network drive. How can I get rid of the dom1???
I wonder anyway why Win7 creates dom1/user1 since I am NOT in a domain but only Workgroup?

Any help is VERY welcome!

net use is NOT a solution for me

I can map the network drive with
net use Z: servername /u:username passwd
Here WIn7 accepts username WITHOUT domain.
BUT I still have the problem, because I use a remote installation script (from my organisation) which wants to connect to a network share - for this connection the graphical screen pops up and I have the old problem: the domain is INCLUDED in the user.....

Map network drive on Windows 7

Hello Friends,

I was having same problem and I found following solution which works with me, please check and tell me if it is OK for you or not.

Solution:

Please try the following steps ... this will change the way Windows Vista
authenticates with other computers to the same setting that Windows XP uses.

*** These steps change default security settings of Windows Vista.
*** The result: your machine will be less secure by changing these settings.

- Click Start
- Click Control Panel
- Click System and Maintenance
- Click Administrative Tools
- Double-Click Local Security Policy
- In the left pane, click the triangle next to Local Policy
- In the left pane, click Security Options
- In the right pane near the bottom, double-click "Network security: LAN
manager authentication level"
- Click the drop-down box, and click "Send LM & NTLM responses"
- Click OK

Hope it works.
Thanks, Regards

I am having the same problem, but I have Windows 7 home and can not find the "security policy" option. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello,

You can find security policy in Administration Tools as per attached screen shot.

Hope it is clear now.

Had same problem...

I searched for 'network security' in the Control Panel, and it popped up the Credential Manager, which is where I could edit and remove the domain from the login.

Control Panel | User Accounts and Family Safety | Credential Manager.

good luck,
