File Sharing between 2 laptops while disconnected from domain

M

Mr.Wright

I currently have 2 users away from the network. These 2 users have shared
files in the past. User A has a new laptop and has setup the shared folder as
it was in the past. User A can access the shared folder on User B while
neither of them is connected to the domain. User B cannot access the the
folder on User A unless User A connects to the domain via VPN.

User A can disconnect from the VPN and all is fine with file sharing until
User A goes into standby and then has to connect briefly via VPN for file
sharing to resume.

These 2 users had had no problems file sharing before User A received a new
laptop.

What could be the problem???

You cannot grant SMB (file-sharing) access with the credentials of a domain
user when away from the domain. Unlike the machine logon, this info is not
cached.

The workaround is to grant rights to a local user, and access the share
under those credentials.
