Thanks for suggestion. I tried connecting to the share using the IP address (instead of DNS), but I still get prompted to reauthenticate. When I reauthenticate, the share mounts successfully, so it's not to do with an incorrect username/password. I wonder what is different between the GUI and command line, as mounting the share via Terminal/scripting works seamlessly.
Regards,
Takeo

Have you tried connecting using the IP Address of the server, we have found that sometimes the WINS resolution does not work very well.

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone is experiencing a SMB mounting issue when connecting to shares hosted on a Win2K3 AD Kerberized server? The issue appears to affect Leopard only. Shares mount fine on 10.4.11 client.
The issue appears to be in all builds of 10.5 including 10.5.5. Basically the client machine has no issues binding or authenticating against the AD server, but when attempting to mount an SMB/CIFS share it prompts for reauthentication. This shouldn't be the case if Kerberos is running correctly.
According to Kerberos.app, the client/login has received the correct ticket. The issue is only affected when doing it via the GUI i.e. Connect to Server. If the mount_smbfs command is used to mount the share, the share mounts successfully without prompting for reauthentication.
I have also found the same "authentication prompt" issue when printing to AD print queues. Otherwise printing to AD print queues is fine after entering login details.
Mounting SMB shares is not so much of an issue for us at the moment, as I can write a script to automount the shares upon user login and has proven to work fine so far. It will only be an issue if a user decides to mount shares manually that are not already mounted.
Any thoughts on this? Searching in the forums, some users are experiencing the same problem. Apparently it is a known issue that is still yet to be fixed.
Regards,
Takeo

I have been having similar issues with a Filemaker server using Retrospect
to connect to an SMB share for backup. I eventually found a site that
recommended using Go->connect to server and saving to favorites. Then
dragging the user->library->favorite into login items in account prefs, this
may be the site I got it from-:
http://www.stress-free.co.nz/tech/leopard
It seems to work ok but I have had to reboot a couple of times on occasion
to get it to map properly. I have an auto logon set up too, to make it work.
I have also noticed that Finder in 10.5 seems to revert back to the root of
a network SMB share, when closed then re-opened, even though the drive was
mapped to sub directory folder.
Cheers
Al

I just tried using the IP address for a failing share and that was no
better. I have found that just logging out and in again is enough to
make it connect successfully. A reboot is not required.
