Connecting Boxes

I have a server that has a stats package on it. I have 2 load-balanced web servers, and all of these boxes are NOT on a domain.

I need to get log files off the two web servers, but in order to do that I must successfully authenticate against both of them using their local credentials. Is there any way that I can set something up so that my stats box can always have access to the shares that I've set up without having to manually enter the proper credentials?

  • Never have to enter credentials? or just once.



    You can use stored usernames and passwords tool in the control panel and it will automatically log you in when you try to access the share.

  • Hi,

    If the authenticated user on the stats box has the same username and password as on the remote boxes then it should connect OK.



    Failing that do a "net use \\server\ipc$ /user:username /password:password" in a script to make an initial connection.



    You can also use replace "/password:password" with and asterisk and you will be prompted to enter the password.

  • Steve is correct; using the same username / pwd combo on both boxes should work. Many stats programs allow multiple paths to logfiles. If this is the case, then run the windows service (if it is a service) for stats with that user's credentials, point one path to the share you created on the second box, and you are all set.

  • Hi guys,



    The "Stored user names and passwords" applet in the Windows Server 2003 control panel seems to be doing the trick.



    A VERY nice little applet!



    Thanks for all your responses.
