JK1150 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 In windows 2003 server, everytime I set a share, it's passworded. I know I disabled this in XP, but i sorta forgot :blush: sry if this is a n00b question, i guess i forget things easily though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twink Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 you have to enable the guest account. Then just give access to Everyone or Guest/Guests. After that's done Any password/username will be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted May 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 7, 2003 i don't think you have to enable the guest account, just allow everyone read access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK1150 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 i don't think you have to enable the guest account, just allow everyone read access. i did, but i still get a password prompt, and I don't want a server with a user that has no password...

JK1150 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 ok, what if I want to set permission per computer name, like my mom's computer (momscomp) can have all access? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted May 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 7, 2003 lol, sorry, thought you knew how. i'll explain how to do that later. but first, try this: on the sharing tab of the folder you want to share, click permissions. make sure it gives read access to everyone (or whatever group you want) a user has to have appropriate share AND ntfs permissions in order to gain access. ok, now, to add a user from a different computer, go to the security tab of a folder you want to share. click add. then type (computer name)\(username) i don't think it will work unless you're in a domain, but it's worth a shot. try adding "momscomp\users" read access.

JK1150 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 nope, it said it was invalid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted May 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 7, 2003 thought that's what it would do, since it did it for me. did you check both the share permissions AND the NTFS permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
