I would like to know how to setup a file share that non-domain computers can access but still be authenticated by the credentials they provide to see what folders and files they have access too (authorization).
Example
User Bob is on his personal PC and goes to \\SERVER to display the available shares in file explorer. Before shares being displayed a windows log-in prompt appears asking for credentials.
By default, the Everyone group does not include the anonymous SID. It did in earlier version of Windows, but was removed for XP/2003. You can restore this behavior with a registry change on the server. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278259
A better option would be to synchronize the user names and passwords on the XP clients and the server. Just create an account on the XP client and then create the exact same account on the server. When the server challenges the client for credentials, the client first tries the current user. As long as there is an account on the server that matched, it will authenticate into the domain and qualify as "Everyone" then. Setup auto logon on XP and your users probably won't even notice.
