How can I grant ntfs permission on domain computer to WORKGROUPComp
\User?

1. Computer CompA is a member of Domain DomA
2. Computer CompB is standalone workgroup machine
3. There is TCP/IP connection, routing and DNS resolution between
CompA and CompB
4. I need to grant the CompA\SomeUser the permission on some folder of
CompB

What is the correct method to perform this?

Thanks in advance,

Dmitry
 
Hi,

You can't directly grant CompB\SomeUser access to something on CompA because
CompB is not in the same Domain as CompA.

If securoity is not an issue for you you could setup a batch file and map a
drive from CompB to CompA and give the batch file the login ID and password
of a user from the Domain.

Alternatively, you can map a drive for the CompB user. Enter the credentials
of the Domain user acct manually and then let the CompB user be prompted
each time they logon/off.

Finally, you can use pass-thru authentication. By way of example .... create
a User in the Domain called UserXYZ with password ABC. Create a User called
UserXYZ with password ABC on the CompB computer. Log on to CompB using the
acct UserXYZ. When it tries to access CompA it will send it's logon acct and
pwd details to CompA which will then attempt an NTLM based authentication
which should work nicely.

No matter what method you use, you'll also need to grant the Domain based
user account access to the folder in question (at a Share AND File level -
remember XP/2003 etc default to Read only permission at the share level).

Hope that helps,
