I'm in the process of setting up a windows 2003 file server. I'm trying to create a folder where users from our other company can come onsite with their computers and use this one folder to pass files between our company and theirs. These two companies are part of two different AD forests. This site only has one server. I've giving write access to the anonymous group. But the users still get prompted for a username and password when they try to access the share. Ideas? I have 2 days left in China to get this project done. Thanks,jb List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/

Two questions: 1) Did you enable the guest account? 2) Are the usernames unique in both forests?

No I did not enable the guest account, is that what I'm missing? Usernames should be unique. The Ad names (dns and netbios) are different. So the universal names will be unique. jb -----Original Message----- From: ActiveDir-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Linehan Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 10:55 PM To: ActiveDir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Non-domain access to files on windows 2003 Two questions: 1) Did you enable the guest account? 2) Are the usernames unique in both forests?
