Able to Mount File Share With File Print Sharing Off Will 10-28-2006

 I have a Windows 2003 server where I turned off File and Printer Sharing,
then "shared" a folder in the root of the C: drive and had no problem
mounting it locally as the t: drive. I then went to T: and was able to
view all the files.

Wow, apparently I don't understand this as well as I thought I did. How is
it possible that file sharing can be enabled and works on a machine where
File & Printer Sharing is turned off?!

 How did you turn F&P off Will?
If by clearing the checkbox on an interface, then are there
multiple interfaces, and did the box get bounced just to
make sure the net stack reinitialized?
It is really the server service that is the way to shut off
sharing for the whole box with certainty.

There is only one ethernet interface on this box, and that is the one for
which File & Print Sharing is deselected. It was disabled before the
machine was booted, so I'm sure it is a clean stable configuration.

I had not disabled the server service. I will do that, but can you help
me understand what File & Printer Sharing is controlling if it isn't File &
Printer Sharing? :)

No, I cannot, and I have not observed that before, and
as I have previously experienced that should not be so.
What OS/sp level are you using where this happens?

Hey Will,

Sorry about the miscue - I totally read right past your indication
that you were using a one machine test.
