Connect to SAMBA on Linux from Window Server 2003

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has tried to write a lotus script agent that will save attachments from incoming emails to a network share drive in different domain before.

The agent will be running on the server on windows server 2003 and the network drive destination will be samba on Linux.

I’ve tried and only managed save the attachment within the same domain and failed if it is in a different domain.

Here is my connection and disconnection code.
