Question Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer

[zipz422]

I'm trying to share a folder between computers. The first computer has the file on it and I shared it with all privledges (read/write/etc..) for all users. It is a Win 7 home computer so its not a domain account.



The second computer is on the domain. I get "\\computer 1 is not accessible. You might not have the permission to use this network resource. Contact the admin of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer" when I try to access that computer in the "network" tab on the left of the "My computer" window.



I tried a few guides that told me to edit things on the local group policy on the server, but they didn't work.



Any ideas on how to fix it? I didn't set the computers up this way and adding it to the domain is the last option that I don't want to do.

I don't think that you can mix Windows' "Workgroup" versus "Domain Join" network types/schemas. A PC is either set up for one or the other, pretty sure.

Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in. Once a PC is joined to a Domain, pretty sure that they authenticate with AD for all of the shares, and don't authenticate with "workgroup" shares, outside the AD.

You're basically asking the MS Networking components on that PC to be Schizophrenic, of sorts.

Edit: I could be COMPLETELY WRONG HERE, I've never tried this, I'm not all that familiar with administering Domains/AD. (I do mostly SOHO tech-support on the side.)

Domain makes PC management in an organization a lot easier, but you don't need to join domain to access some resources. Data is one example.

Windows 10/8/7 Home edition computer is still able to access domain resources, even without joining a domain. (Actually it does not have the capability to join a domain)

Be sure all PCs (server, domain PC sharing the resources, and the Home PC) use the same DHCP running on domain controller for name resolution. (DNS server on the controller need to forward it's query to public DNS servers for internet access)

Let's say the domain name is homelab.local, server is dc.homelab.local, a domain joined PC named computer1, user is Tony, sharing a data folder on C: drive called DATA (probably need to use domain administrator account to elevate).

To access the resource, user use Explorer, type \\computer1\data to access the folder, use a credential to match the user name in the domain, here you use homelab.local\tony. You don't even have to create user Tony on Home edition PC.

The one that I am sharing from isn't on the domain...

It doesn't give me the option to use a username or password even when I use \\computername

It just gives me the error message above. So there are no options or "more option"

Same thing when I try to connect via IP

I just tried and I don't need to enter computer name in front of the username in the credential box from a domain computer while trying to access Home PC's folder as long as I have the username /password correct.

Let's say Alex is the username on Home edition PC sharing data folder, I don't even have to create user account Alex on the domain as long as the given credential is correct.

You can try using computername\username or ip_address\username.

Well, see if the following post helps. (at the end)
