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

[aolsux00]

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.

That message means the user you are trying to logon to does not have rights to logon tot the computer. In order to connect to the system on the domain you will need to connect to the system using the domain account you use on the computer by putting the user name in the domain_name\user_name format. If it's a local account the domain_name would be the computer name. Need to keep in mind you have local accounts and domain accounts so you need to know which one you are using.

Create local account for domain user on win7 pc (where folder is shared).

For example you have :

windows 7 computer named PC1,​

domain computer named PC2,​

user on domain computer DOMAIN\USER2.​

Create local user on PC1 named USER2. Set password for this user. Ideally set password to same as DOMAIN\USER2 password. Do not leave the password blank or user will not be able to connect.
