Hi,

I have a customer who have two domain. Domain A and Domain B. Both are a
two-way domain trust.

A few user in Domain B can access the file server in Domain A and it will
prompt for a password so that it can be authenticated.

The issue right now is that when user reboot the client machine, user will
get access denied to the share folder of the file server instead of a
"PROMPT" to request use for creditial.

Currently, the workaround solution is to disconnect all map drive and
connect it
again. It will prompt to enter user id and password but after we reboot the
PC and try to access it , it will have access denial and we have repeat the
procedure. How can we make it to ask for user name and password every time?

Chris - this indicates that users from Domain B connect to the server in
Domain A using alternate credentials. Since you have trust relationship in
place, you should be able to grant permissions to Domain A resources
directly to Domain B users/groups. This will eliminate both prompts and
access denied messages...

I would agree with Marcin

It sounds like you have a user with the same id in both domain A and B,
which isn't using the trust relationship up to its true potential. Set up
the trusting domain with the id from the trusted domain thereby eliminating
the request for the credentials. This also makse it easier for users since
they only have to manage 1 id between the two domains.
