Goal: to share a folder without having to enter username/password
Available equipment: Computer with Oamnei Windows XP Pro SP3 + all updates from Windows, which is today.
What was done:
1. Enabled the Guest account. She has a blank password
2. Removed the Guest account from Gpedit.msc -> computer Configuration — Windows settings — security Settings — Local policies — user rights Assignment — deny access to the computer network.
3. Added Guest account in Gpedit.msc -> computer Configuration — Windows settings — security Settings — Local policies — user rights Assignment — Access this computer from the network.
4. The service "Windows Firewall" is disabled.
5. Gpedit.msc -> computer Configuration — Windows settings — security Settings — Local policies — Network access: model sharing and security for local accounts — Guest.
6. Gpedit.msc — computer Configuration — Windows settings — security Settings — Local policies — security Options — Restrict the use of blank password to console logon only. — Disabled
7. Disabled simple sharing files and folders
8. Open access to the folder D:\\Scan permissions All All
9. Ntfs rights to the folder Scan are the same as in paragraph 8.
10. Policy setting Network access: do not allow enumeration of SAM accounts and shares by anonymous users is Disabled.
11. Restart your computer
The result: When you try to log on \\\\192.168.0.44\\ from a nearby computer, asks for username and password. What, according to my notions, should not be.
Please help, and I already all head broke.
