Logon to File Server with Boot Disk (99191)

MORE INFORMATION

Here is how to remove this condition:

1. Create a boot disk.

Format a floppy disk with system on it. Run ndisk/f from your ninstall directory to create a basic bootdisk. The server copies all the necessary files to the floppy disk

1. Use the disk you just created to boot your workstation.
2. After boot up, net start your workstation. Type: net start wksname [enter]. Wksname can be your user id.

NOTE: If your user id has user or admin. rights and a password, you must put an asterisk with your net use. If you don't, you get the error: Connection refused or syntax error.

1. Type: Net use k: \\srvname\sharename * [enter].

This prompts you for a password.

1. If you don't have a password for the wksname you put in, you are logged in with the privileges assigned to that account.
2. If your user id doesn't have a password, and you delete or disable your guest account, you get the error: access denied.

Here is an example of autoexec.bat:

@echo off
set path=\LANMAN\basic
c:\LANMAN\drivers\protocol\netbeui\netbeui.exe
c:\LANMAN\basic\netbind
net start workstation admin
net use k: \\server1\c$ *
