Re: unrestricted access to a file share

Yes, I was thinking of suggesting use of Guest also to him.
I believe if Guest is used then the policy to Let everyone
permissions apply to anonymous users is not needed as
Guest is not anonymous but known and authenticated.
If however the Let everyone ... anonymous is used, as
the post indicated, then the Shares that may be accessed
anonymously comes into play.
Personally I still think Shenan has suggested the better
route, using an account/password that is limited to the
share access (no log on locally) and then just giving this
account out to those at the location. It they are using
XP this could be cached in the network credentials
manager of their normal account and they would then
quickly forget it.

If that is really what you want to do try enabling the guest account on
the server. In addition you may need to configure in Local Security Policy
[secpol.msc] the security option for accounts: limit local account use of
blank passwords to console logon only to be disabled and the security
option for network access: let everyone permissions apply to anonymous
users to be enabled. --- Steve

The way my business is set up, I need to create a file share that can be
accessed by anyone. The servers will be deployed in the field with no
access
to the Internet or the central office. Users will need to access the
fileshare that have never been defined on the server (neither the user or
the
server are domain members) when they are at the remote site.

My Share permissions are Everyone for full/change/read.
My NTFS permissions are Everyone for read/write/execute

I have added anonymous logon to everyone through the security policy, and
have even tried enabling null shares. Neither worked. Whenever I access
the
stand alone server, it challanges me for credentials.

Is there any way to open up the fileshare so it does not need to
authenticate the user?

Thanks
