Hi All,

When a user tries to access a shared folder in a Server
2003 which is not a DC, he is required to enter a
password even though the Server was not set to make such
a requirement for this user to access the shared folder.

Is there a way to remove this requirement in order for
this user to access the shared folder ?

Many thanks.

Best

Probably an AUTHENTICATION problem -- either the
client machine is not properly authenticating in the domain
or else the server is not.

Perhaps you didn't make the server a domain member or
the user is not logging on with a domain account?

Most authentication problems (except not making the machine
a domain member) are really DNS issues:

DNS for AD and member machines
1) Dynamic for the zone supporting AD
2) All internal DNS clients NIC\IP properties must specify SOLELY
that internal, dynamic DNS server (set.)
3) DCs and even DNS servers are DNS clients too -- see #2

Restart NetLogon on any DC if you change any of the above that
affects a DC and/or use:

nltest /dsregdns /serverC-ServerNameGoesHere

Ensure that DNS zones/domains are fully replicated to all DNS
servers for that (internal) zone/domain.
