Windows Network Credentials

Hi Keith,

We suggest that you disable Credential Manager before mapping your Drives. Please follow these steps to disable Credential Manager:

• In the search box type “Services”
• Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator”
• In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and click “Stop”.
• Restart the computer and go back the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”.
• Restart the computer again.

Please keep us updated if you were able to map your drives.

 

How to disable Windows 11 Defender Credential Guard?

After upgrading to Windows 11 2022H2, RDP always prompts for credentials and Edge Dev doesn't autofill credentials. According to this, Windows 11 H2 enables Windows Defender Credential Guard. I tried to follow the steps to disable it in the Group Policy Editor (it was set to Not Configured) and rebooted, but it doesn't help. How to resolve this scourge?

BTW, shouldn't we enable such features by default and leaving users to figure out to restore the old behavior for hours, instead of asking on install?

 

Asking for Network Credentials

Sounds like a 'persistence' issue, i.e. A has the credentials to access B 'stored' with the 'persistent' flag set but B doesn't have the credentials to access A stored persistently (or it's corrupted), hence the request.

Try:

1. Open Credential Manager (in B's Control Panel, i.e. Start > Search > control > Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Credential Manager).
2. Open Windows Credentials (on the right-hand side).
3. Search for (and remove) any credential for A (in case it's corrupt).
4. Use Add a Windows credential to add a new network access credential for A (by entering the network address [e.g. computername], Username and Password then click on the OK button.

If all goes well, when this completes you can open the credential and should see Persistence: Enterprise mentioned underneath the Password field:





Hope this helps...
