I just installed a Windows Server 2003 R2 system at

Problem: This is my first Windows 2003 Server install so I am trashing around with the password issue.

The unix box is Openserver 5.0.4 with SCO VisionFS (ver 3.10.905)

On a Windows XP box, I would use "user Accounts" -> "Manage my network
passwords" but on Server 2003, all I see is control Panel -> manage
stored passwords. I tried setting up a users password there for connecting windows user bob to scosysv as bob@scosysv with
bob's visionfs password but that failed.

I logged into the Server 2003 console as bob (not an administrator)
and attempted to map a network drive. I was able to browse the network, select the UNIX box and see the VisionFS shares. but when I clicked on "vision tools" I was asked for a login name and password. I supplied
Bob's name and bob's visionfs password (bob works when logged in from
a Windows XP box), but Windows 2003 was unable to connect to the vision
FS share.

Anyone familiar with Windows Server 2003 R2 and connecting
to VisionFS on SCO?


You can try updating VisionFS to ver 3.10.911 available at ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/vision/VisionFS/3.1/

I think that patch fixed some Win2K issues.
