DC accept remote accounts authentication

[Guest Isaac Perez]

Hi all,

 

We have an accouting software that uses the local computer\username to

authenticate to the server shared folders in this way:

local-pc\local user

No matter if you had already established a connection with the server or

not.

 

The clients are not in the domain, and due other reasons will not be added.

The clients OS is windows xp and vista.

 

My question is if I can create a new user account that reflects the

remote computer and remote user in the DC, or make it accept the

connections from them.

 

Thanks,

 

Isaac

Re: DC accept remote accounts authentication

 

You don't need to join the remote machine to the domain. Users should be

prompted for a user id and password when they map to the share. They will

simply need to enter in the following format

 

user => domain name\user id

password => password of user account
