Windows 10: Connecting to File Server via Windows Explorer (Admin Credentials Cached)

Hi Community,


I'm looking for some support.


Scenario:


Using a domain-joined machine, I connect to our File Server via Windows Explorer.


It prompts for credentials to authenticate to the server, and here I enter my domain-admin credentials, I connect and get the file I need.


Now, these credentials are now cached somewhere, as if I browse to the File Server from the machine again, it does not prompt for Authentication. (Not in Credential Manager as this is something I checked and cleared out)


I waited a few hours, and tried again - the credentials are still cached.


I'm wanting to know where the credentials are being cached, as at the moment it's a risk to us as a user could browse to the File Server, and delete files "as" the admin who authenticated previously.

:)

 

Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.





This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?

 

File Explorer Credentials - Forget

Hi,

I am setting up a new Windows 10 pro computer for a user. I had to use my credentials on File explorer to get to

our server to download some programs. Now I cannot get Explorer to forget me. I log in on the computer as

the local user - open file explorer and it opens automatically with everything I see as an admin. When the user

logs in I want them to use their credentials to see the Server so they cannot get to everything an admin can.

I have gone to Credentials Manager and have deleted what I thought I should but the problem persists.

How can I make this happen.

Thanks,

Karen

 

We are facing cache credentials issue in one of system (Window Server 2012 r2) not domain joined.

Dear All,

Please get me help to resolved below scenario issues.

System Windows Server 2012 tries to and have failed for logon attempts on Domain credentials using cache credentials. We have checked server neither showing any of connections in file share nor in credential manager. As per our understanding, cache credential
can be zero via registry or secpol.msc. Can you assist if this does not affect other processes as this system is critical and system restart is not an option.



Need assistance and feedback on this will be highly appreciated.
