Server won't restrict access to XP Machine

It sounds to me as if your wife's machine is using locally
cached credentials. The following article covers this;

On the wife's machine
- Go to the Control Panel
- Run User Accounts
- Select the user experiencing the unexpected file access
rights
- Select Manage My Network Passwords under Related Tasks

Here you can see all cached credentials and to which
resource they are associated with. You may also delete or
change the credentials as appropriate.

She probably has the an admin login/password cached on
that server/share.

Hope this helps

I have W2K server set up as a domain controller. I use
my personal computer
(WinXP Pro) to log into the server, so my computer is
obviously on the
domain. My wife's computer is an XP Pro machine, and it
isn't on the
domain, only on the Workgroup named "workgroup." On the
server, I have a
hard drive which I have enabled Sharing on, but only to
Domain Admins. The
security is also set to Domain Admins only. For some
reason, the server
will not restrict access to my wifes computer. She is an
admin on her
computer, because she is the only user, and XP Pro forces
the only user to
be an admin. But as I see it, this should make no
difference on the server
side, which is domain related. Why will the server not
lock out "Workgroup"
users? Is this some type of security flaw? Thanks for
any suggestions.
