Windows 10: What happens to a mapped windows share if password expires?

Hi!


I am trying to figure this out, but can not find any definite answers.


I have a non-domain joined server with a share. And a user that has access to map that share.

This user does not have "Password never expires" enabled.


From my Client computer, I map up this share.


When my password expires, it seems to still work.

But for how long?

Is there a session time out?

Can it be changed?

Many thanks!

Password issue

After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

 

Map Windows 7 Shared Folder to Win 95

Okay .. I figured it all out.

Configuring Windows 95 so it can map Windows 7 shared folders.

You need to update Windows 95 so that it can utilitze NTLMv2 network protocols (and use 128 bit encryption for authentification).
Nothing needs to be done on the Windows 7 machine other than sharing a drive or folder.

On the Windows 95 Machine you will need a local account with the same name and password as on the Win7 machine or in the domain.
The Windows 95 computer does not have to be a member computer in the domain (ie. does not need domain authentification)

1) Install the Distributed File System client for Windows 95 (dfs41w95.exe)
2) Install WinSock 2.0 (w95ws2setup.exe)
3) Install Microsoft Dial-Up Network 1.3 (MSDUN13.exe)
(I wasn't sure what msdun13 does to the TCP/IP stack so I reinstalled winsock2.0 again)
4) Install Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 / 32 bit (ie40sp2.exe ... you need this or step #6 will termintate without installing)
5) Install Microsoft Installer 2.0 (InstMsiA.exe .. you need this so Windows 95 knows what to do with the .msi file in the next step)
6) Install Distributed Services Client for Windows 9x (dsclient9x.msi)
7) Go into the registry editor (regedit) and go to ...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control
Create a Key named Lsa
Create a DWORD in Lsa named LMCompatilbility with a hex value of "3".
8) Reboot once more.

Mapping a network drive on a Windows 7 machine should now work.

 

Map Windows 7 Shared Folder to Win 95

I am able to map the folder shared by the Windows 7 machine on my XP Pro machine without problem.
I cannot get the Windows 95 machine to map the folder shared by the Windows 7 machine.
The Windows 95 machine will map a drive shared by an XP machine just fine.
