Hello everyone,

I am setting up Windows Search Server Express on Windows Server 2008. Here is Windows Search Server Express information. By default, it is using Windows authentication which needs server local Windows user name and account when access the search service from a remote machine.

http://www.microsoft.com/enterprisesearch/serverproducts/searchserverexpress/try-1.aspx

My question is, I have tried very hard to make it use anonymous authentication -- i.e. I want all users from other machines be able to access search service without input any user name and password. Any solutions? Any special things of Windows Search Server to make anonymous access?

BTW: if this forum is not appropriate for this question, any recommended forums are appreciated.

thanks in advance, George
