Access network shares without providing password
LockedHeres the situation, Server 2003 machine running as a terminal server and XPPro machine running as file server. I have set up a shared folder on the XP machine to store all TS users data. When i try to set up the profiles in the users properties on the server2k3 machine it says cannot find the network resource. From the server2k3 machine i have opened the run dialog and typed \\xpmachine at which point a login dialog appears, if i login using credentials from the xp machine no problems. I need to be able to access these network sharres without providing credentials. I have gone to gpedit on the xpmachine and changed Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only to disabled but it has had no effect.
There is only a few TS users so i could set up the accounts manually on the xp machine however any changes in passwords will cause problems again.
