Manually Create a Null-Session Share

The DNA files directory must be a null-session share as CA DMM runs as the System user account. Set up the null-session share before running any procedures.

Follow these steps:

1. Start the Registry Editor by running the regedit.exe file.
2. Locate the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\NullSessionShares
   

   Note: NullSessionShares is a REG_MULTI_SZ value.

3. Enter the share name that you want to access with a null-session on a new line in the NullSessionShares key. For example, enter DNAData$
4. Locate and click the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA
   

5. Click Edit, New, select DWORD value, and add the following registry value:

   Value Name: RestrictAnonymous

   Data Type: REG_DWORD

   Value: 0

6. Close the Registry Editor and restart the server.
7. Set the following properties for the shared folder:
   • Add 'Everyone' under Share Permissions.
   • Add 'Everyone' under the Security tab with full permissions.
8. Enable the 'Network access: The Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users setting in the Windows Local Security Settings.
