Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer

[rogerjohnsam]

I'm trying to share a folder between computers. The first computer has the file on it and I shared it with all privledges (read/write/etc..) for all users. It is a Win 7 home computer so its not a domain account.



The second computer is on the domain. I get "\\computer 1 is not accessible. You might not have the permission to use this network resource. Contact the admin of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer" when I try to access that computer in the "network" tab on the left of the "My computer" window.



I tried a few guides that told me to edit things on the local group policy on the server, but they didn't work.



Any ideas on how to fix it? I didn't set the computers up this way and adding it to the domain is the last option that I don't want to do.

You fix it by shooting the Windows 7 machine and walking away.

Seriously, weakening Windows 10 to the degree required to make this work isn't rational. Upgrade the machine, it's still free and watch it work when you're done.

While I fully recommend upgrading the 7 to 10 rig due to....security and all that stuff, what you have here is not related to what version of the OS you have (well, within reason...)...what you have is a workgroup computer, that has a share...and it cannot recognize the domain login of the other workstation. Workgroup computers (non domain) in the traditional sense work in sharing via local user accounts. What I'd probably start with, create a local account on the domain joined workstation...that matches the login of the home rig. Can use the same..or create matching.
Now on the domain joined rig, create a batch file doing the net use...providing those local account creds.

This works fine on "pro" operating sytems.
Doing "Windows Homeless" and "Windows Pro" mixed in workgroups like this can be a nightmare...spend a few days getting it working..and a few months later some Microsoft update tanks it. I'll support workgrouping "Pro" Windows...I will not implement/support a mixed Home/Pro environment.
