Network share not prompting for credentials.

Question

_{Friday, February 2, 2018 4:43 PM}

I'm having some issues identifying the cause of a change in behavior between Windows 7 and 10 when it comes to connecting to a network share. These machines are all on a domain.

On 7, when a domain user who doesn't have access tries to connect to a network share, it would simply prompt for credentials. Once entered you could access the share normally. On 10 Edu v1709 when attempting the same procedure we just get an error that the current user doesn't have permission. It no longer prompts for credentials.

Anyone knows if there is a setting/registry key/ gpo that can make it behave like it used to?

The share works fine through the net use command, I just prefer the previous operation.

Thanks.

Hi DBurgoyne,

Are you able to map the drive manually in Windows 10?

Is the share smbv1?If yes then it's disabled by default in Windows 10

Hi, maybe your credentials are cached is windows, enter the following command in RUN and press Enter then remove the all credentials :

C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

Yes, I can connect manually, and I have verified the share is smbv2.

It's not a big deal for me, but I want to retain the same behavior for our non-technical users if possible.

Clearing the credentials isn't going to work for us. None of our users have access to this share. It's used to house software installers. We don't have sccm.

Sure, we could use command line to connect but we want it to prompt for credentials like it used to in 7 for ease of use.
