I have a windows 2003 domain and i have a few windows nt clients there
anyway that i can have these clients open a certain folder with out having
to type in the password of the folder no the domain every time i restart the
computer.
Why not join the machines to the domain and set up domain accounts for the
users and have the users do a domain login?
If you do not want to join the machines to the domain you could put them
in a workgroup with the same Netbios name as the domain. Then set up
accounts for the users on the domain.

Thanks for the fast reply
ok first of all ive been told that you cant add a windows nt to a windows
2003 domain, or i should say that how they set it up. Secondly ive done what
you said with the workgroup and netbios name. Things seem to for but there
is a certain folder on a windows 2000 server that i need access to i map the
folder to the drive and add the password everything works fine until you
restart the windows nt machine or the network is lost. Ive added rights to
the windows 2000 server share with the windows nt logon but still it loses
it...

If it is you do not need to put a password on the share. Just share the
folder to Authenticated Users. Any user with a valid domain
username/password should be able to access it. That should include your NT
clients.
If the server is not a domain member you are stuck with authenticating
to the server itself.

the w2000 server is a domain member but the windows nt client does not log
on the windows 2003 domain. For some reason it always ask for a password to
the map drive every time it restarts any ideas?
