Hi Jeff
Since Windows XP/2003, Everyone has meant all _authenticated_ users and the guest account (along w some service accounts).
Is it possible to run a dedicated SVM for your scenario? I'm thinking perhaps a CIFS SVM running in Workgroup mode, not AD joined, would change the meaning of 'Everyone' to include anonymous sessions.
However, a quick Google suggests you'll need CDOT 9 to use Workgroup mode.
This is an interesting problem. I wish I had the install media to try this in the lab!

Greetings,
I need to allow some MSDOS 6.2/Windows 3.1 systems to map a dedicated drive share. Is there a way to set up a CIFS only share that will not require authentication? I've set up permissions to give "everyone" full control, but it still asks for a username or password when they try to connect.
I have been able to do this with a share on a W7 system, but I'd rather it go to a more robust destination.
Thanks,
Jeff
