Setup an anonymous share for SCCM OS deployment

In order to achieve this we must firstly create our share with Share and NTFS permissions set to “Everyone.” We must then create a GPO (if the server hosting the share is part of a domain) or the local group policy and apply a filter on ONLY the computer object hosting the share – the GPO should be configured as follows:

Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options:

-        - Network access: Let Everyone permissions to apply to anonymous users : Enabled

-        - Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares : Disabled

-        - Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously : <Enter the share name>

You should then be able to access this share from the WinPE environment when deploying OS’s with SCCM – to verify you can hit F8 while in WinPE mode and type the following:

net use <drive-letter> \\<hostname>\<sharename>
