Authenticate to Windows Share without Microsoft Account Info
-
On my PC my username is listed as [email protected]. According to this article, microsoft accounts should always have @microsoft.com, @outlook.com, etc. You can use them like a regular user account and add them into the security just like you would any other account. It sounds like you are using a local account

@IRJ That's odd my Microsoft account is one with a custom domain. Not sure if it is because it is an older account or now.

@IRJ , at the logon screen, it shows [email protected]. I'm not home to pull it up at the moment, but I'm about 99% sure it's a Microsoft account.

That's not what I asked you to do. Try adding it the account itself. Don't worry about the group as a whole yet.

It's establishing the network connection. It's just not taking credentials.
