Hi,
Create a new user and change all the steps from the previous posts:
1. Click Start/Run, type gpedit.msc
2. Open Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local
Policies\Security Options
3. Change the following key:" Network Access: Sharing and Security model for
local accounts" to "Classic"
4. Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies.
Under User Rights Assignments check the following keys:
-Access this computer from network (Your new account or everyone group
should be in)
-Deny access to this computer from network (remove Everyone group)
Under the security options take a look at this key:
-Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only
(disabled)-only if local administrators do not have passwords
-Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumerations of SAM accounts
(enabled)
-Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumerations of SAM accounts and
shares (disabled)
-Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation (disabled)
-Network access: Let everyone permission apply to the anonymous user
(disabled)
After this change all the users will have to enter username and password
(one you created), if you want the user to authenticate as themselves,
create accounts for all users on Win 2003 machine.
Regards,
Anton Pegan
