Put IIS on the box. Install "Internet Printing" and "WebDAV". Publish the folder containing the shares in IIS, granting anonymous access to the Virtual Folders. Publish you printer in IIS and grant anonymous access to the "Printers" virtual folder also. On the NTFS properties of the folder, grant at least "read" access to the "Internet Guest Account". Now direct the users to use their BROWSERS to request the resources by doing (using IE for an example) File -> Open ->"Open as Web Folder" for the shares. For the printers, no need to do "Open as web Folder". This *should* work. Sincerely,

Mike Thommes -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Noah Eiger Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 3:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Guest Access w/o Credential Prompt Hello: Please do not flame me for asking this. 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.
