Re: SBS shares. Theres no security

You have done 'something', 'somewhere' as this is not normal in a default server.

We don't know what you have done as you keep stating tht there is no username/password that matches....

Bottom line:

You have horked the permissions somehow.
There is a matching account somewhere.

For each "shared folder" please post up the security tab members and their rights.

A default, one nic SBS box will not exhibit this behavior. Unless there is a username/password on that Dell box I have over there that matches the username/password that I am logged in over here... I ain't gettin' on that box.

Enable object access on the SBS box and enable them specifically on those shared folders..

From your "rogue" box, drill down through those shared folders.
Review the audit logs for 'what' or 'whom' is obtaining access to those shared folders

Back to the plot please folks (at the bottom of the thread please).

I had thought that the Admin account on the rogue client might have had the same password as that of Admin on SBS.

So this has been changed. There are now definately no similar user accounts on the rogue PC and SBS.

Apart from 1 that Ive just thought of, what about Oulook? The rogue PC does have custom settings in Outlook Accounts to access Exchange email, using a USER account, manually configured.

Surely an Exch account in Outlook would not propogate to a Profile....... or would it?

Im going to check this out on another PC which does not have an Outlook account with Exch access.

For clarity and because poeople keep asking:

Rogue PC = PC with NO domain, User, Device profiles in common with SBS
Rogue PC is able to browse and edit SBS default file shares.
Rogue PC is given IP from SBS DHCP

EVERY Windows user, even "Guest" has "credentials"!

If you installed SBS with a blank Administrator password and installed XP in "shared mode" (with no password),
you have effectivly created a shadowed account thus giving you FULL access.

Ive set up a default SBS install, except with a single nic

Ive placed a rogue PC on the network, which has no credentials (user, computername, domain etc) to access SBS, the rogue PC network folders are populated with SBS file shares!!!!!! AND I can make alterations to 80% of those shares including DELETE of user added folders and files.

Can someone tell me what on earth is going on please. This is a pull the plug senario!
