Hi experts,
maybe I am getting to old to understand such a behaviour:
We have a single AD domain with several file and print servers, terminalserver and so on.
I have now created a Windows Server 2019 Test VM on Xenserver. This VM is not a member of this single domain but member of a new workgroup. While playing arround with that new VM I was looking at the network sourrounding and have found that I could access the shares of our file/print/terminal DFS Server/ even that this machine and its admin is not a member of that domain.
Why is this possible.
The access rights are according to MS standard, i.e access granted on share to everyone, but NTFS rights are only to domain admins or local admins and dedicated domain groups.
I thought, that I could access these shares only if I were promted to sign in with proper credentials.
On another Fileserver (also W2K8r2) on the same domain with network shares I am asked to sign in without seeing the network shares on this server. This is the expected behaviour.
Could someone shed some light in my black dumb brain?
