Real Mode Redir: No Support for LAN Manager Validated Logon (90983)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
  • Microsoft Workgroup Connections 1.0
This article was previously published under Q90983

SUMMARY

The default for Workgroup Connections redirector (real mode) does not support validated logons for Microsoft LAN Manager. You must be running the enhanced redirector or the Windows virtual redirector (VxD) to properly log on to a LAN Manager domain.

To start the enhanced redirector under Workgroup Connections or under the real-mode Windows for Workgroups network, use the following commands:

net stop
net start enhanced

MORE INFORMATION

Using the standard redirector, it is still possible to access the same network resources that are available when you have logged on and been validated by a LAN Manager domain.

  1. Log on to Workgroup Connections using your LAN Manager user name.
  2. When connecting to a resource on the domain, use the LAN Manager user password as the password for the resource.
If you log on to the LAN Manager domain this way, you will not be able to run your LAN Manager logon script as you would under the LAN Manager version 2.1 MS-DOS client.

The Workgroup Connections enhanced and virtual redirector allow you to run your logon script, and be validated by a LAN Manager domain.
