And almost no-one will recommend null session shares to a DC. 

Other viable options include creating an account in the domain that matches the 
credentials of the workstation logon in order to facilitate passthrough 
authentication.

  "Everyone" is a group, not a user.  Sessions are authenticated to
users, not groups.  So until and unless you authenticate as *some*
user, you're not a member of the "Everyone" group.

  As ASB says, you can add that share to the list of null session
shares, and then you can connect without authenticating first.
