Hi Experts,

How do I configure passthrough authentication on the server, so the
following task will work. Here is the situation.

There is currently a spreadsheet on the network which is being used to
capture the date and do whatever calculations are necessary. The location of
the spreadsheet is in a shared location and we should recreate permissions so
only the necessary people have access. Since the prime purpose of the Tablet
is data collection using this speadsheet, I want to have a common logon for
anyone who uses this and it should not be part of the domain. The new account
needs to be created locally and on the domain so I can map a drive to the
spreadsheet location using pass-through authentication. I don't want people
logging on using their domain ID because they have roaming profiles and this
will mess-up everything.

THX in advance
 
Well, surely you could create a domain user account that does not have a
roaming profile. But, if you want to map a drive to a domain share for a
user who is not logged onto the domain, use:

net use x:: \\IPofServer\share /USER:DomainUserAccount@domainname password
