If you are running in a workgroup environment, I assume that security is not
a concern. What I do in this case is to enable the guest account and give
it permission to the appropriate directories that I would like to share with
everyone. This, of course, does not provide any security to the directories
shared but it allows for Windows 9X like (share level almost) "security".

Subject: W2K pro in a work group
Hi folks,
Excuse my ignorance, and unfortunately I can't test this.
How does W2K work in a workgroup.
For example.
In Windows 98 once the workgroup is configured on a computer, anyone who
logs on to the workgroup using that computer is able to access the
resources.
Is this true for W2K pro.
The scenario I am envisaging is this.
I join a computer to a workgroup using the Administrator account.
Now W2K pro has far better security and each user has or can have their own
profiles, permissions etc.
If, having been added to a workgroup using the Administrator account, I log
on as a user, provided the folders on a remote computer, also part of the
same workgroup, are share to the Everyone group, would this new user be able
to access those resources without any further administration?
Or would I have to add the computer to the work group for each user that
logged on to the computer?
Thanks
mark
