To set up a network where some clients can access the server without a password while others require a password in a workgroup network, you can follow these steps:

Setting Up Client Access to Server Without a Password:​

1. Create a User Account on the Server:
   • Create a user account on the server for the client that needs to access it without a password.
   []Enable Guest Access:
   • You can set up the server to allow guest access. This way, clients can connect to the server without a password.
   []Configure Network Sharing Settings:
   • Share the necessary folders or drives on the server with the appropriate permissions for the client that needs to access without a password.

     Setting Up Client Access to Server with a Password:​

   []Create User Accounts:
   • Create user accounts on the server for clients who need to access it with a password.
   []Set Password-Protected Sharing:
   • Enable password-protected sharing on the server to require a password for accessing shared resources.
2. Assign Permissions:
   • Set permissions on shared folders or drives to control access for clients with passwords.

     Additional Tips:​

     • Make sure that the client machines are in the same workgroup as the server for seamless connectivity.
     • Regularly review and update user permissions and access rights based on changing requirements within the company.
     • Implement security measures like firewalls and antivirus software to protect the network from unauthorized access.
     By following these steps, you can differentiate between clients that can access the server without a password and those that need to use a password for access in a workgroup network setting.
