I didn't interpret your post as having said I was wrong; no worries. Per my other response (I'm still writing up a document with screenshots whenever I take a break from some other stuff I'm working on), AD isn't actually necessary at all for the sharing process. However, since everything is so much more efficient and easier to manage with AD, group policy and a PKI, I *always* recommend that they be implemented and used whenever possible.
