Is it possible to create a share that allows anonymous access? I want to
share a folder on the network that will allow anybody (weather they are a
member of the domain or not) to access it without their computer prompting
them for credentials.

Thanks!!
 
If you enable the guest account and give the guest account
read access to the folder, you should be able to access
the share without a username and password.
That should work,

Ack don't do it that way, that is a horrible method due to poor security.

Use a null session share and set the ACL on the folder and share to Everyone Read or whatever. That way you don't open
up the rest of the box to guest access.

You can create a null session share by adding the share name to

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters\nullsessionshares
 
Very cool way of doing it. Didn't even know that existed, thanks!!!
