Hi All Is there a way or authorising users that do not logon to a DC, to be able to access folders on a member server? The reason for this is that I have just demoted a DC to a member server that holds the user areas, laptops that do not logon to the domain were able to access the shares because the server was a DC. Other than adding each user as a local user, setting up a trust for each Laptop or moving the user areas to a DC and remaping the drives. What else could I try? Hope I've explained the problem in a way someone can understand. Thanks in advance Alex Hart
