Add local computer account to server share permissions
I want to add a local computer user account to a server share..Is this possible?
Let's be clear - that's not the same thing - you can work around it labsky suggests, but you cannot add local accounts to other machines.
Note 2:
My previous answer was assuming that you are talking about SERVER in WORKGROUP environment, NOT in Active Directrory DOMAIN environment. Because in DOMAIN environment, procedure is a bit easier, but different.

And yes, Leew is correct - my 1st answer is a workaround, which would work, but is not the proper way of setting it up :)

I am talking about in an Active Direcotry environment.

Thanks everyone.
But first you need to create the identical user account on SERVER, with identical USERNAME and PASSWORD as on local computer, and then edit share permissions on SERVER and add this user to have desired privileges.
But note, that resulting permissions are the combination of NTFS Permissions (Security Tab) and SHARE Permissions (Share Tab), so do not forget to edit permissions in both tabs under Properties of shared folder on server side.
