Group Policy to Enable Remote Access to Admin Shares
Some time ago -- back when WinXP SP2 came out -- I had to reconfigure the machines on my LAN to allow for remote access to their
admin shares. By "remote" I mean "from a different computer in the same subnet", not from the wilds of the internet . I did this by enabling or disabling something in group policy. But I've lost my notes, and I don't remember how to do it anymore...which is a problem because I just added a new machine to the network. Does anyone know what the policy tweak is to enable access to admin shares from another computer? BTW, these machines are all part of a domain, in case that makes a difference on where I do the tweak. - Mark |

I never did it through group policies, but the registry setting is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\system\ Add DWORD Value LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy set to 1 Hope this helps. -- Zaphod Arthur Dent, speaking to Trillian about Zaphod: "So, two heads is what does it for a girl?"

Group Policy to Enable Remote Access to Admin Shares
Thanks for the tip.
What's weird is that I have four Vista systems that allow access without that particular tweak, and one that doesn't (because I just built it). - Mark On Wed, 3 Jun 2009 08:49:01 -0400, "Zaphod Beeblebrox" wrote: "Mark Olbert" wrote in message .. .
