ahhh yeap ...thats what I said.

In a domain the credential are passed automatically...thats the way domains work..I am sure you can create a GPO that prompts for password for accessing a share.............but why.??

Now my understanding was you had a domain and a workgroup and the workgroup computers want access to a share residing on a member of the domain??? When the workgroup user wants to access the share....it should get prompted for a username and password where you can use a domain account or a local account (local of the machine hosting the share).

What exactly are you trying to do???
