Wow this was a big help. Is there a reason this isn't enabled by default? Or
is it a bug?

Hello,
To access the administrative shares of a Vista computer from another
computer, you will need to change a registry setting. You will need to
change
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\system\LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
to 1 (DWORD).
To do this:
- Click start
- Type: Regedit
- Press Enter
- Browse to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\system\
- Right-click a white area in the right pane
- Click New
- Click Dword Value
- Type: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
- Press Enter
- Double-click LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
- Type: 1
- Press enter
- Restart your computer
You should now be able to connect to the remote administrative shares on
your vista computer by authenticating with an account that is an
administrator.
