RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Guest Access w/o Credential Prompt

What user name are you testing with?  Is it unique meaning that the stand alone server you are trying to hit does not have a local account by the same name?  If the user account name is on both machines we will not fall back to guest.  Also if the names are unique have you tried giving anonymous access?   Thanks,   -Steve   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Noah Eiger Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 4:24 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Guest Access w/o Credential Prompt   Tried that too.

I would like to open a non-domain Windows Server 2003 box for anonymous Guest access to two shares and a printer without being prompted from the client. (Yes, I am aware that MS has spent lots of time making this very difficult to accomplish and that it is a huge no no. Client is aware of why this is so bad and demands it anyway.) Based on various Googling, I have tried the following steps in order (from my notes):   To allow guest access - enabled Guest account - explicitly added Guests group to Share permissions and NTFS permissions for Data and Finance shares - Added Guest user to Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignments\Access this computer from the network - Gave Guest user a password. - Set Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Network Access: Do not allow anonymouns enumeration of SAM accounts to Disabled. (Default is Enabled) - Set Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Network Access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymouns users to Enabled (Default is Disabled) - Set Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Network Access: Sharing and security model for local accounts to Guests only (Default is Classic) Despite all this, the user still gets prompted for credentials.   Thanks.
