How to allow domain member access on a non-domain-member Windows 7

  • 772

My Win 7 machine is in a workgroup and is not a domain member (and cannot be made a domain member). It has a share (and some DCOM components) that need to be accessible by an AD account that is a domain member.

Is that possible?

When I go to the security tab / Locations..., I cannot see the domain, I only see the local PC name in the list of locations.

active-directory

  1. You will need to add Guest or Everyone to the permissions of the share/folder on your machine, or provide a dedicated local account that you can supply domain users who need access.
