How do I create a truly anonymous read/write network share in Windows Server 2008?
That is …
- no login dialog shown
- no domain credentials required
… so that any Windows machine can get to this share no matter who is logged in, whether the machine is on a domain or not?

After that, in the Local Security Policy under
Local Policies > Security Options
I had to modifyby adding my share to it, like so:
At that point I was able to get to
\\servername\sharename
anonymously.
