Ok, I’ve Googled for, but I’m not getting what I’m looking for. It seems, as I remember from playing with it, that if you grant the Everyone group access to a share on a box that’s part of a domain the only folks that can access it are those that are authenticated to the box’s domain (or a trusted domain). If the box is not a part of a domain, anyone can access it if you give rights to the Everyone group.

Is this standard? Or is my environment non-standard and this is being set by a GPO or something (Maybe by setting the reg key EveryoneIncludesAnonymous).


The gist is this, I’m confused about who belongs to the Everyone group in different cases. Care to enlighten me?
