    Cool Connecting Vista Home Premium to NT

    Hi all,

    I have a bit of a problem that I could do with some assistance with:

    I am trying to connect a Sony Vaio laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium to a server running Windows NT. It is a school so thats why the server is NT (no money to upgrade) and the principals laptop is Vista Hope Premium.

    Couple of problems:
    1. I can see the server but when I try to connect to it using an administrator user name & password I keep getting told that the password is wrong. I know it is right. Tried with numerous accounts including administrator account.
    2. When I try to add a shared folder from a network drive to the trusted areas in access 2007 I am told that my security setup does not allow this location so select another one.
    I have seen that Vista HP wont connect to a domain but the principal insists it was connected prior to this.
    Is there a script that can be run or a patch that has to be applied?


    Firewall is off, network & file sharing is on.

    Home Premium won't join a domain, you're right. When you say "join the server" what exactly do you mean?

    It might be to do with NTLM in Vista not falling back to v1.

    Open the local security policy (start, run, secpol.msc). Go to local policies, security options, Network security: LAN Manager Authentication Level. Set it to 'Send LM & NTLMv2 session if negotiated' then reboot.

    Home Premium does not have the domain join premium. You need to upgrade that to Win7 Professional to get that functionality.

    Won't you also need to upgrade the Active Directory Schema for it to even accept this machine. If that is even possible in NT!

    Considering that AD didn't come along until Windows 2000 server, I'd say not.

    I am actualy just trying to map a drive to a shared folder on the server. The network itself is peer to peer and not a domain.

    I have tried connecting to the shared folder on the server from the command line. It accepts the request and asks for a username which also gets accepted Its the passwords that keep getting rejected as incorrect but they are the correct passwords.

    Apart from the Access 2007 problem issue shares between the Vista Laptop and XP machines are fine.
