Poster did not state share was on a domain controller, which
your response assumes, and which might be correct assumption.
Actually there are three cases. The two you mentioned, and
use of anonymous connection to share that allows anonymous.
If you are right, and share is on domain controller, then either
case would have to be enabled for the domain (not necessarily
for all of its members though), but if you are incorrect the case
would only have to be done on the sharing member.
