Samba Share Windows 7 not remembering password

[rjundi]

I have Banana Pi running OpenMediaVault as a DIY NAS that works pretty well for the $50 spent and a variety of old laptop HDD's in $6/each usb enclosures.

The annoying thing is if I map a drive in Win7 pro it forgets the credentials on reboot. It is hooking using SAMBA.

Any experience with this?

How many user accounts / users are using the computer? Is there a need for security?

One of my computers does this with Samba / W7. Since I'm the only one that uses the 'miller88' account on my desktop/laptop, I just set up a smbuser 'miller88' with the same password.

Have you tried?

net use X: \\server\share /user:lexus /password persistent:yes

Perhaps store the credentials to your NAS with Windows 7s Credential Manager?

net use x ignored me.

The Win 7 Credential manager has correct password. The on thing I notice is username is prepended with the computer name. eg

XXX-W530\myUserName

I correct it by removing the computer name to 'myUserName', Samba is happier.
