I have an Entra joined device associated with my on-prem AD domain, and I'm currently signed in as [email protected]. I need to access a shared folder on the fabrikam.com AD domain using my fabrikam credentials ([email protected]).
When I try to browse the shared folder, I'm only able to access public files. If I attempt to map the drive manually, I encounter an error message stating that "The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password."
Here's what I've already tried to resolve the issue:
1. Used the command 'net use * /delete' to clear existing network connections.
2. Tried removing inconsistent connections in CIM instances.
3. Attempted to use my fabrikam credentials to create a new PS drive.
Despite these efforts, it seems that the device continues to use the CONTOSO account rather than allowing me to log in with my FABRIKAM credentials. Any advice on how to overcome this hurdle would be greatly appreciated!

Here are some steps you might want to double-check:
1. Ensure your device can resolve DNS addresses from the fabrikam.com domain. You may need to connect to a VPN that has the correct configuration.
2. Create a user account on the fabrikam.com domain with the appropriate permissions to access the shared folder, and make sure it’s part of the required security groups.
3. When mapping the network drive, use the option to 'connect with different credentials' and enter your fabrikam username. This usually does the trick!
4. Save the credentials for auto-reconnect, which might prevent issues with red X icons when you're not connected to the network.
5. If this is too complex, cloud file sharing solutions could be worth considering as a more straightforward alternative.
Have you established a trust relationship between the two domains? That’s usually the best way to allow access across domains. If it’s not set up correctly, it can lead to permission issues even if the domains are connected.
We do have a trust, but we haven't granted permissions to the shared resources yet. It's frustrating waiting for someone to take charge of that!
Good point about cloud solutions! They do simplify access but can be tricky to implement depending on policies.
