Awesome, thanks Jason. I was in the same situation with my work laptop -- which isn't on our domain so that I can easily work from home. Now I can stop bugging Luc when I need something out of our SQL Server(s).

I am having the same problem, just wondering if MS has provided any feedback yet? Will they be fixing this?

Thanks!! You just solved a problem I've been trying to solve for three days. Question: Did you find a way to prevent runas from prompting for the password every time? When I specify the /savecred option, I get an error: "997: Overlapped I/O operation in progress."

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Do you have any follow up on why "saved network passwords" doesn't work the same in Vista?

I thought I'd dodged this issue when I decided to skip Vista, but sadly this same bug / feature applies to Windows Server 2008. Not a huge surprise, but I'm still hoping there's a local policy/registry / SPN setting that can be correctly to allow this authentication to work like it used to.

Server 2008 also has (at least I think this is a new option..) a pair of radio buttons on the stored cred dialog:
1) A Windows logon credential (choose this option to save a user name and password for a Windows server or other Windows computer)
2) A Web site or program credential (choose this o ption to save a user name and password for a web site or program).

The first option works fine for accessing UNC resources, but not SQL. When you pick the 2nd type, it is denoted in the stored usernames list with "(LegacyGeneric)". So maybe that's only used for by IE to store web credentials and not really for "other programs".

grr. and Server '08 was shaping up to be my new, favorite OS
