| 5639.1 | what is the problem that you are trying to solve? | CERN::HOBBS | Congrats to the Ignoble Peace Prize winner!  (http://www.eecs.ha | Tue Feb 04 1997 11:44 | 5 | 
|  |     Why?
    
    Those are administrator shares that the world can't see or access.

| 5639.2 | Accessibility of "administrator shares" ? | NPSS::PAYSON | Chris Payson; ATM Networks | Wed Feb 05 1997 06:30 | 15 | 
|  | 
The problem I'm trying to solve is to guarantee access restrictions to 
data on non-system disks (I boot from C$ and D$, which are both on one
physical disk, but I have E$ anf F$ which are two separate disks with
data and apps that are not to be shared at all.
Can you give me the limitations on access to these "administrator shares" ?
I know I've been able to connect to them over the network even though I 
couldn't see them in the "connect" box; I could specify \\pcname\c$ and
connect to the remote drive.  This may have been on machines where the 
username and password were the same as the remote machine that was 
accessing the local machine; would that make them accessible ?

	Administrator shares are only accessable by administrators.
	That's your "limitation"
	If you connect to another system not in your domain from
	the administrator account and the 2 systems have the same
	password for the administrator account, you will connect.

| 5639.4 | I have the opposite problem.... | CSC32::K_MEADOWS |  | Wed Feb 05 1997 10:19 | 7 | 
|  |     I'm interested in this string because my 4.0 system NEVER creates the
    admin shares for the disks!  This is a new 4.0 Server install on a
    Venturis 486.  
    
    anyone know how to cause them to be created?

|  |     Uh, you've got serious problems...
    
    You're saying that if you bring up Server Manager, you see NO SHARES
    for the existing disks?

|  |     That's right - been that way since I first installed it.  drives me
    crazy - but not enough to reinstall!
    
    have an idea of WHY?

| 5639.7 | here they come! | GENIE::BUCHER |  | Fri Feb 07 1997 03:16 | 14 | 
|  |     it usually happens if you use profile editor in registry mode. the
    default there is auto admin shares off
    try (edit) this
    -------- cut here, save as auto_share.reg and double-click 
    -------- n.b. this is for workstations
    
    REGEDIT4
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
    "AutoShareWks"=dword:00000001
    "AutoShareServer"=dword:00000000
