Hey everyone, I hope this isn't too basic of a question. I have two computers: Computer A, which is joined to a domain, and Computer B, which is not. I've created a folder called 'Testfolder' on Computer A and granted full control to local and domain admins. However, when I try to access this folder from Computer B using \computeratestfolder, I get an access denied error. How can I set it up so that I can use specific credentials to log in?

Your issue is likely because Computer B isn't authenticated to access the folder. On Computer B, you can navigate to add the network folder, and it should prompt you for credentials. Create a local user account on Computer A with the necessary NTFS permissions for 'Testfolder', then when you try to access it from Computer B, use that local user’s credentials to log in.
If you're avoiding mapping drives, you can still connect from B using the credentials of a valid account on A. Just add the network folder on Computer B, and it should prompt you for the correct user info. Make sure the account you're using is set up correctly with the right permissions.
Quick question: Do you have admin rights on Computer A? If you can create a local user, that will help as well. Also, knowing the Windows versions on both computers can help troubleshoot further. Let me know!
