Windows Security and Enter Network Credentials Pop up. I am denied access to my own network.
Not sure if this is you case, it took me quiet a while to get it to work ...
In the Network Credentials box enter a "full-qualfied" username, which includes the name of the endpoint. Then enter the password for this (NAS) identity.
- Username: WDMYCLOUDEX2\[nas_identity]
- Password: [nas_identity_password]
Actually I prefer entering these credentials in Credential Manager. Now whenever the connection is restored the right credentials are used.
- Select "Start"
- Enter "Credential Manager"
- Select "Windows Credentials"
Again, include the device the (local) domain, -eq NAS, with the User name.
Hope this helps.

I have the SAME issue and the full name (TREYS-APPLE\trey(username)) with normal log on PW did not work. I can see the Win 10 PC on the iMac but not the reverse !!

Hi William,
Not sure if I understand your question. Are you trying to connect your Win10 device to your iMac, meaning you iMac acts as an SMB server on you (local) network? No experience with iMac's though so I recommend to check this first https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204445
Then see if this works:
- Open CMD prompt
- Type "NET USE * \\TREYS-APPLE\[sharename]". You will be prompted for username and password. Username should be full qualified. The password is your iMac username password.
- If this works, then enter these same credential is Credential Manager. If this fails, something else needs to be figured out, for example share and/or identity information is spelled wrong.
