Clearing Windows Server 2008 for sharing barriers

Many people think that access to shared resources is very simple, as long as the first find a shared resource, then double-click the shared target, and then log in to access the operation. In fact, each of these steps can be limited by the Windows system; No, when we try to access a shared resource in a Windows Server 2008 system, the system blocks every aspect of it, and we have to make reasonable settings to clear the way. Make shared access a green light.

1, clear the invisible obstacle

Logically, from a common computer on a local area network, you can see the target shared resources by opening the Network Neighborhood window, but why is the shared resource in the Windows Server 2008 system not so easy to see? It turns out that Windows Server The 2008 system enhances security performance by default, and it controls the normal client's ability to view the target shared resources saved in it through the newly added Network Discovery feature. Therefore, when we are unable to view the target shared resource in the Windows Server 2008 system from the Network Neighborhood window, it is necessary to check that the network Discovery function of the corresponding system is turned on properly, and the following is the specific view step:

First, open the Windows Server 2008 system's Start menu, select Settings/Control Panel, and then double-click the Network and Sharing Center icon in the subsequent Control Panel window to open the network and Shared Center Management window for the corresponding system;

Next from the "Sharing and discovery" List of the management window, locate the Network Discovery option, and then expand the option Settings area (shown in Figure 1) to check that the Enable Network Discovery option is selected by default and that if it is not selected, Windows Server The 2008 system prohibits any user on the LAN from viewing and accessing all the shared resources on the network, so we naturally cannot see the target sharing resources.

At this point, we can select the "Enable Network Discovery" option, and then click the "Apply" button to save the above setup action. Of course, here we have to make sure that the file sharing option is also selected, otherwise the Windows Server 2008 system cannot publish the target resource share to the LAN network.

Of course, there is a point that needs to be noticed by your friends, the normal computers on the local area network must be on the same working subnet as the Windows Server 2008 system host, and they will use the same workgroup name, if not even this condition is guaranteed, Then we may not see the target shared resources hosting the "figure", let alone to access it.
