We have WinXP machines on a domain which have a mapped network drive to a share on a Server 2008 computer that is not in the domain. The credentials on the share are a local account on the Server 2008 box.
The problem we are having is after a reboot of each computer in the domain, Windows asks for the account password password.
How can we make Windows remember our saved passwords?

For each XP workstation, use a startup batch file script in
%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
like so:net use <drive letter>: \\<servername or ip>\<sharename> /USER:<username> <password> /Y
