Common Credential Login To Server

hi

in process of becoming i.t company particular client. previous i.t company did inital network settup configuration not done correctly.
have xp win7 workstation & serverk3.
no users created on server except 1.
workstations have unique usernames & passwords when mapped folder on server, credentials used single user created.
planning see i.t needs , requirements, want implement best practise methods.
create users password each workstation , in process grant necessary access rights particular folders thats residing on server.

solution i'm looking is, how remove common login credential these workstations linked server?

that not possible without centralized authentication ad domain provide.

however workaround can create those 7 user accounts same name & passwords on server add group ntfs permissions on shared folder allow users map share. should work.

1. open computer management , create 7 users same name , pw under local users , group
2. create security group
3. add users group
4. edit ntfs permissions on shared folder , right click properties , grant full control group created
5. login workstations , map share new user name , password created respective machines
