Can this be done without affecting current configuration

Hi,

I have a AD network with 3 2003 DCs. Most of our workstations are attached to the domain while only 40 PCs are non-domain machines.

What I would like to do is to allow all non-domain PCs to be able to access one shared folder in one of the member server within the domain using one particular user account.

I created a group called nondomainuser and put a newly created user account into the group. I removed this user from the domain users group so it only belong to the nondomainuser group. On the shared folder, I setup the Share/NTFS permission so that only the nondomainuser group have read access to it. With this setup, the user is able to access the shared folder without problem. However, this account is also able to access shared folders that are accessible by the members in the domain users group which is something I don't want. The thing that I don't understand is this user account is not a member of the domain users, but he is still able to access shared folders that are for members of the domain users.

I know I might be able to achieve this by removing everyone from the share permission on the share folder. However, this is going to lot of time and I might miss out something as I many shared folder on the server

Can someone advice me if there is any simple solution for such problem?

Thanks

OM
