Subject: RE: Anonymous Share Access
Remember that a workgroup does NOT have a central user database like a
domain does. So unless you create a local login on the server with the
same
name and password as each user has on their own workstation, when it
hits
the server it fails, as the account does not exist on the server with
the
requested resource. The GUEST account serves as a default generic
'anonymous' credential
Right. That makes sense, but I thought ANONYMOUS LOGON had its own SID.
If an anonymous user becomes GUEST then why wouldn't you just set share
and file permissions for the GUEST account and be done with it?
