Hi,
I am attempting to allow anonymous access to a specific share however I am still getting asked for credentials whenever I try connect to it, at this point I can put in any credentials (no password necessary) and it will work, however I need to get rid of this window and allow users to connect without any interaction.
Here is what I have done so far …
Enable the guest account and give it a blank password
Group policy changes:
Network Access: allow anonymous SID/Name translation: disabled
Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts: disabled
Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares: disabled
Network Access: let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users: enabled
Network Access: restrict remote access to named pipes and shares: disabled
I have done this at domain policy level as well as on the individual server. Still works (or rather doesn’t) the same way.
I have noticed that if I map the unc path via the command line I get this error.
The password or user name is invalid for \\server\share.
Enter the user name for \\server:
If I supply anything as the username at this point or map it with the switch “/user:domain\randomanything” it works fine, (no password needed).
Any solutions would be great.
