Re: NTBackup - Unable To Restore To XP Hosted Alternate Path

The user could create file and directories anywhere that "everyone" is
allowed to in share/NTFS permissions. The user account used for NTbackup
needs the user rights for backup and restore files. If you enable auditing
of privilege use for failure on the computer you will probably see privilege
use failures for that when the user attempt to use NTbackup fails. --- Steve

Why can (Simple File Sharing Enabled) a user other than NTBackup
create directories and files on the remote XT Pro? It appears that
Server 2003 users can create authenticate and create directories on the
remote XT Pro when using a Server 2003 system console. But NTBackup
fails.

But when (Simple File Sharing Disabled) then NTBackup on the Server 2003
has user authentication to the remote XT Pro resources and works properly.
I also notice that Server 2003 console users can mount the XT Pro
administrative resources if the Server 2003 login permissions map to an
XT Pro administrator. This is the default functionality when the remote
workstation is Win 2000 Pro.

What simple file sharing does is to authenticate any attempt to access a
share on the computer where it is enabled as guest/anonymous. The problem
in
your case is that guest does not have permissions to access administrator
shares and it does not have the user right to restore files and
directories
which is why it fails. Once you disable simple file sharing then the user
authenticates as themselves when they try to access a share or perform a
task on the computer such as restore files and folders. Simple file
sharing
is the same as the security option you see in Local Security Policy under
local policies/security options - network access: sharing and security
model
for local accounts where the two options are guest only or classic -
local
users authenticate as themselves. --- Steve
