Possible to browse domain as UserB when logged onto domain as UserA?

[Vini]

Is it possible to browse the domain as UserB (say myself, with admin rights) when logged into the machine as UserA (restricted credentials)?

Basically we have some apps stored in a dir which only admins can access, I'd like to be able to access them to install onto a newbuild, but im actually logged in as a domain user with restricted creds.

!Important bit: This is a 2k machine.

On XP. I've been able to \\server\$c and enter "user\domain" to gain access, but 2k doesnt like this.

use the run as command.

or map a drive with alternate credentials.

doesnt seem to like either.

theres no run as and when mapping it says 'you are trying to map a drive using a different username, to one which already has restricted credentials' (or similar)

couldn't you do

net use g: //server/share /user:bob

there always used t be a user bit

You may need to disconnect other mappings to that server first.

net use x: \\server\share \user: pass

works on xp. [e!] seems to work on 2k too. fingers crossed. rebooting atm.

It said something along those lines but there are no mappings, its a fresh install :s

The user doesn't have a drive mapped in a login script do they?

Vini,

If you run net use from the cmd prompt, then you will get a list of connections, some with drives and some without.

You will need to force disconnection to the server you are trying to access (net use \\server\share /delete /y).

Then make another connetion to it, either via the examples mentioned:-

net use \\server\share /user:domain\user *

* means it will ask for you password, and display *s

Or map a drive with different credentials (Explorer - Tools, Map Network Drive - Connection using different user name).

Hope that helps?
