Xp home and share ,
I know this has been talked about and the real answer is migrate clients to
Pro, but not really an option at this point.
Hope someone can help -
I know that Win Xp home cannot Join A/D, but it can be setup so that file
sharing on the Server can be accessed. Done it before
(Things I've done so far to try and connect to the shared folder on the
server)
I've changed the XPhome workgroup name as advised, to the same as the
Server's domain name - I've also created a new user in the A/D with the same
UN/PW as the XP home Pc. The XP home Pc can ping the server and after reeboot
can now see the server icon in my network places, but when trying to access
I'm getting a error {Server is not accessible. you may not have permission to
use this network ETC:-}
The server is setup for DNS / Active Directory / File server & Routing and
remote access.
XP Pro Clients that use server shares fine , XP home clients can veiw but
have no access , Server also can veiw XP home clients PC -Icon but get error
, path can not be found. - also XP Home clients can use Shares on each other.
