    Sharing between domain and non domain pcs


    Hi,

    I have a domain joined windows 7pro (64bit) not able to connect to shared folder on a non domain joined pc with windows 7pro (32bit). Only public folders are accessible. I get a do not have permission message, I tried adding the domain\user to share permissions but domain is not recognized on the non domain-joined pc.

    Does my domain admin have access to the homegroup and the shared folders on the home pc?

    What are my options for access to a non public secure folder on the non domain pc from the domain joined pc.


    Sorry for the awkward description, don't know how else to describe the situation.

    my apologies if these questions were addressed elsewhere, I could not find any relevant threads.

    Thanks

    Hi Takatso, welcome to sevenforums. As I read you post, it looks like you are logged into your domain joined PC as a domain user is this correct? If so, your PC will be treated as acting as a part of the domain. If you then try and connect to another pc at home, there will be a problem as your home pc is not recognised by the domain pc as part of the domain. You should set yourself up a user account on the domain pc whilst it is NOT connected to the domain, login to the new account whilst not on the domain and then try sharing the folders with the non-domain pc.

    No, your does not have access on the home computer as they are part of the domain and not the homegroup.
