Security Options for Anonymous Acccess to File Share on Windows Server 2003 (e.g. print server)The minimum (just about, but it may be possible to do better, but I got fed up changing Group Policy and rebooting the computer) security options for Anonymous Acccess to File Share on Windows Server 2003 (e.g. print server): Enable and give the guest account a blank password:
Enable the guest account and give it a blank password (computer management: users and groups)
In the same bit of Group Policy (allowing network access for anonymous
logins from NT4,2K and XP):
gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Local Policies
-> User Rights Assignment -> The GPO stuff can be done in the AD domain policy or an OU GPO. After that I was given access without a credential prompt to the printer shares. I then limited access to the shares using the windows firewall and a custom IP/subnet list. |
