Guest PCKC Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I have an NT domain 'DOMAIN' and one W2K3 R2 Standard file server. The W2K3 server is not joined to the domain, but belongs to a workgroup 'DOMAIN'. I have a few XP workstations which also belong to a workgroup 'DOMAIN'. When attempting to access shares on W2K3 file server shares, they are prompted to enter their credentials. File shares are shared with everyone full control. Is there a prevent users from being prompted for their passwords - without having to join the NT domain?
Guest Ryan Hanisco Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 RE: W2K3 File Share Access In server 2003, Everyone requires authentication -- in 2000, this was not the case. It is possible to change the handling of the everyone group but it is very much not recommended. You are better off keeping the authentication to prevent problems on your network -- remember that viruses thrive on unauthenticated access. -- Ryan Hanisco MCSE, MCTS: SQL 2005, Project+ Chicago, IL Remember: Marking helpful answers helps everyone find the info they need quickly.
