Thanks for your help.
I realize this. However, I was looking for a way where you don't need to
have login on the server. In other words, where you are not going to get
prompted for user name /password.
I found, partially, the solution. If you enable guest account and give it
login privileges, you are not going to get prompted. The problem is you are
giving logon privileges and it's not quiet safe.
