Hi all,

Running a 2012 box which has a folder shared that I need anonymous non domain accounts to access. I have tried sharing using the everyone and anonymous groups but still I cannot access the share.

Is this possible?

What rights have you given to the "Anonymous logon" group? Can you access the share with credentials? Isn't you firewall blocking access?
You can temporary disable the firewall and check again.
