Guest is not part of Everyone. The concept of null user authentication, and null user enumeration of shared resources disappeared way back in the post-NT days due to all the issues security issues that caused (whether it be shares, RPC ports or whatever)

I have Win2003 DC (Server-A) which has a folder on it called Test and is Shared as Test. Share permissions are on the Test folder are Everyone-Full and NTFS permissions are Everyone-Full. When trying to access this share, \\Server-A\test, from an XP machine that is NOT part of the domain, it prompts me for credentials. Same thing if I just try to access \\Server-A from a non-domain machine in an attempt to list ALL the shares. It prompts for credentials then too. It was my understanding, since the Share and NTFS perms have "Everyone" included, shouldn't non-domain machines be able to access this share without providing credentials? Anyone have a clue what might be going on? Am I forgetting something basic?
