To answer the first question on the workgroup issue. This is basic nt in a
workgroup enviroment. You have to make local accounts for the win9x clients
meaning if you are logged in as bob with a password of password then on the
nt box you need to make an account called bob with password of password. You
should have been able to login with the password that you use on the nt
machine itself. I have done similar senarios in classes. Be default nt share
are everyone full control anyway, so its not a permission problem. As far as
the second error I would have to look at it more.

Subject: [isalist] How to access mspclient share in a workgroup environment
and why is msiexec's illegal operation?

http://www.ISAserver.org


I have got two problems regarding ISA server installation and running. Is
there anyone kind enough to help me out with these problems?
1. I installed Windows 2000 server and did not join a domain but same
workgroup as present on my network. Then I installed service pack 1 and
ISA server.I went to my Windows 98 machines to install mspclient, open
Network Neighborhood and double click the Win2k server name. It asked me
to supply a password to access the resource on the server, I supplied the
one I logged on with to the Win2k server but it said the password is
wrong. The share had no password setting on the server. I found no way to
access the share to install mspclient. How can I access shares on  Win2k
server in workgroup environment?
2. I worked around the above problem by installing AD on  Win2k server and
creating account for users and machines. This time I was able to access
the share but when I started installing mspclient I got illegal operation
message - saying that msiexec performed an illegal operation. It happened
on all my 10 Windows 98 machines. What is the reason and solution of it?
Thank You
