    Have a remote server with AD authentication for which UNC can be used with any Windows 8 machine (domain or workgroup, local or remote), but for which UNC addressing does not work if using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.  These latter machines return error 0x80004005. Form of UNC is: \\nottherealserver.com@SSL\eRoom\stuff\.  All the units can log into the website https://nottherealserver.com@SSL\eRoom\stuff\ .  The site is an EMC eRoom v7.44 server.  Cannot figure out if this is a server/AD configuration problem or a client configuration.  Strange that it works just fine in Windows 8, but not in Windows 7.

    Hi,

    See if this helps, on the Win 7 computer right click the network connection properties.

    Is the box ticked  Client for Microsoft Network, if not add and try again to connect to Remote Server.

    Please bear in mind, that my answer is based on the details given in your post. The more I get the better the answer, Slan go foill, Paul
