FrozenGamer Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I am quite new here, but am wondering how i solve this problem, I have an email address as a user name on a couple of windows 8.1 machines on my network - I can't create a user in unraid beta 6-12 to set up a share that is secure. Am i missing something or can anyone suggest a solution for this while still using that f'd up windows username? Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 What you want is called "Credential Manager" and it's located in the "Control Panel". You want the selection [Windows Credentials]. You then want to select [Add a Windows credential]. You should see the following screen where you can enter in a simple username/password that you setup on unRAID. Here's a lot more details on this -- http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/manage-network-logon-credentials-in-microsoft-windows/ Quote Link to comment
FrozenGamer Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Brit, thanks for your help - This is what ended up working for me specifically. Add a windows credential - internet address: Tower username: computername\username password:password I got hung up just putting the username in without the computer name first, i found the format by looking at a few different shares. I'm quickly realizing what a great and knowledgeable person you are Brit. Thanks very much! Quote Link to comment
DaKarli Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Attention! Even though the a.m. solution will work, it still is just a workaround.... 😉 There is a better, officially supported way of adding a Microsoft @ account to a SAMBA server. Go to this thread/message where I described it in more detail: Have fun and with best regards DaKarli. Quote Link to comment
