Share Accounts - "Everyone"

OH MY......

SMS 2003 LOVES the "Everyone" account.

Don't try applying the control of "least privileges" when creating shares that need to be accessed by SMS. It doesn't like them....

When assigning permissions to shares which must be accessed by SMS, be sure to model them after the shares which the application creates on its own - mainly... give "Everyone" full permissions in the share tab. (Mind you, this does NOT mean the Security tab.)

You will have much more hair left if you do.

Exception 04/14/2005: Through some testing, I have found that you can assign "Everyone" "Read" permissions for shares assigned for backup puposes.
