Default Unable to connect hidden file shares


Hi!

We have a fileserver with a lot of file-shares.
One of the end with a $-sign. When i map a drive from Vista Business to
\\server\share$ i get "Access is denied".
But if i map a drive to \\server\share$\directory it works fine.
And it's not a problem with my user. When i run the same thing on a
XP-machine it works fine.

Anyone have a idea?

Regards
Paul

By design, you can't access the administrative sharing in Vista. You may
need to enable administrator account first. Or this link may help.

Thank you for your answer!

But, the server is not Vista. It's Windows Server 2003. It's just the
client that is using Vista.

And the share is not administrative share, but a lot of normal AD users
have access to these shares.

Anyone have any idea? Or is this a very odd way of using hidden
shares?

Regards
Paul
