Hi all,

We have an accouting software that uses the local computer\username to
authenticate to the server shared folders in this way:
local-pc\local user
No matter if you had already established a connection with the server or
not.

The clients are not in the domain, and due other reasons will not be added.
The clients OS is windows xp and vista.

My question is if I can create a new user account that reflects the
remote computer and remote user in the DC, or make it accept the
connections from them.

Thanks,

Isaac
 
Re: DC accept remote accounts authentication

You don't need to join the remote machine to the domain. Users should be
prompted for a user id and password when they map to the share. They will
simply need to enter in the following format

user => domain name\user id
password => password of user account
