BigDaddy Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 On my home lan I have 2clients plus a server running Win2k3 where all of the needed files are stored.Lots of times I bring home computers which need fixing and it is annoying to having to always input the username and password to access the network shares.Is it possible to modify Win2k3 so that it doesn't need a password/username for the network shares?ps. I know this is possible in linux and since Windows also uses SMB I hope it is possible in Windows also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
