Re: How to create workgroup account

No Problem. Since you have a Windows 2003 server you could make it a domain
controller and then create domain user accounts on it. If you then joined
the two Windows XP Pro computers to the domain you then could have
centralized user account, policy, and resource management and no longer need
to create local user accounts on each computer that you want to give users
access to a share/printer. However there is some extra complexity in setting
up an Active Directory domain and workgroup setting may be just fine for
you. --- Steve

There is no such thing as a workgroup account. You would need to create
local user accounts on each computer that has a share you want users to
access assuming you are not using simple file sharing but the "classic"
NT style user authentication. Then when a user logs onto their computer
they can access a share on another computer if the computer has a local
user account that matches their logon/password on their computer or they
can access the share if they know the a user logon/password that exists
on the computer with the share. Of course the user would need
share/folder[NTFS] permissions also to access the share. --- Steve
