I'm trying to setup anonymous shares on two 2003 servers. I want users not in my domain to have access without an authentication prompt. These 2003 Servers are not DC's & are co-existing in a NT 4 Domain environment without AD. Users in my domain access the anonymous shares without problem. The best I can do for users outside my domain is set the share so users can login with username=guest, no password. I've set the share/security permissions & applied all the changes through local Security Settings I could find. I can't figure out how to disable the authentication prompt. I've google searched this for hours & haven't been able to resolve this. Below is the primary changes I've made in the local security settings.
-network access: let everyone permission apply to anonymous user=enabled
-Accounts: guest account status=enabled
- network access: sharing & security model for local users: "classic" or "guests only". (tried both)
- set guest account with no password & with a password.
-network access: share names that can be accessed anonymously (shares applied)
-network access: allowed anonymous sid/name translation=enabled
I can't reboot these servers, but doubt that would be necessary. Has anyone encountered this problem, or have suggestions that I haven't tried? Thanks.
