Problems accessing network drive folder with UNC & mapped drive

We have two Windows SBS servers on the same segment of our LAN. They are
both DCs. The server A has all the user and computer accounts assigned to
it. The second server B, is just a SQL database server with no users
assigned to it. One of our Vista workstations has mapped drive1 on server B
as drive Z on their work station. After booting the Vista machine the user
can see all the folders on their drive Z and move files in and out of the
network drive on server B drive1. After about an hour or so clicking on the
user's Z drive yeilds a message telling that the drive is not accessable
anymore. Trying to access server B's drive1 via the network works fine after
inputting the proper credentials.
The statements returns TRUE after a fresh boot of my VISTA workstation and
fails (retuens FALSE) a few hours later. If I reboot my my VISTA
workstation it will immediatly return TRUE. Corsair is the DC that has no
workstations accounts that we are trying to copy files to.

result = DirExist("\\CORSAIR\Drive1\$FusionImportAPD\voice\")

Does anybody know what is going on here?

Thanks in Advance!!!

You could have any number of problems since you are violating the
licensing for SBS by trying to have two of them on the same physical
network.

Hello,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that:

You cannot access the network drive on the second SBS server.

If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.


Information needed:
===================
1. What is the version of your SBS server? Is it a SBS 2008 main serve and
second server scenarios? Or are both of two severs are SBS 2003 DCs?
2. What the role of the second SBS server? Is it a additional DC for the
SBS domain or a brand-new domain?

As Leythos mentioned, first of all please make sure that you don't have two
SBS 2003 servers in the same network. Second, as the SBS server cannot
establish any trust between domains it should be expected that you have to
re-authenticate after the connection times out if you have two separate
domain on two SBS servers.

Hope it helps. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to let me know.
