Accessing a Server's Shared Resources
Two examples help explain some access issues.
- Suppose another employee, JeffH, wants to access a shared directory on \\Products but has no account on that domain. He is allowed access to this resource through the Guest account for \\Products and receives the associated permissions.
- Suppose AnnM is logged on to a Windows NT domain with the password Yippee. She wants to connect to the shared directory on \\Products, where her password is Hooray. Because there is an account for AnnM, she is not allowed to gain access by using the Guest account. Instead, Windows NT prompts AnnM for the valid password on \\Products.
