We have a workgroup environment for one of our remote offices. You actually
figured out what you'll do. Create a user (or use the administrator account)
and let everybody logon with this username and password (same password). No
more problems.
As you know, if you have a workgroup, them the SAM database is local! That
means each W2K computer will have its own SAM and it will let access to its
resources only if the user, who is trying to acess, is defined in its own
SAM database. That's why the above solution will work properly :)
