Windows Windows not saving network password

I've a HP micro server running Server 2008 r2 and a PC running windows 7, the server has network shares, when I access them on Windows 7 i have to enter the username and password every time despite clicking remember next time.

How come?
Do I need to do something in server 2008?

 

Try mapping it as a network drive.

Also, try:

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager\ >>>>Add a Windows Credential

 

Done and Done

Credential manager isn't saving after reboot

 

Have you tried setting the persistence level to "Enterprise" in the Credential Manager?

 

Another option is if you add an account with the same username and password on the server as your desktop you shouldn't be prompted for a password as well

 

Kernel - will try that

Deathtaker27 - considered that, will try it is all else fails

 

Could try what's suggested in this technet thread

https://social.technet.microsoft.co...ped-drive-credentials?forum=w7itpronetworking

basically try "remotePCName\Username" for user, or try ".\Username" or "\Username" for the username options..

or try NET USE to add the share from commandline

 

aha!

The credential manager was saving it as a local computer login, changing the local to server set the persistence level to Enterprise

Cheers everyone!

 

it can be such a pain - but woo for working

PS upgrade to Win10.. and 2012R2 (2008R2 is oooold)
