Topic: No default share c$ on xp [SOLVED]

[factory]

When I join a XP computer to the domain, it doesn't create a default share c$ on the computer.

Is there a way to access to computers hard drive over the network if i am in the domain admins group.


edit:

Default share missing on XP computer.

factory: this is not a SME issue and I can confirm that all my xp clients joined to the domain have c$ share..

Disable "simple file sharing" on XP pro.

[gzartman]

How do you know the share isn't there, as this share is never visible by browsing the network. 

Try mapping a drive letter to it:  \\xp_box_name\c$

Moving thread to General Discussion, as it is more appropriate there.

One of the way to see the share is typing net share in CMD

Bug isn't related to SME.

....

Causes: These issues may occur after a malicious or spyware program removes the administrative shares on a windows computer. You can use "net share" command to check  that the administrative shares are active. if yes, you must have admin$, C$ and IPC$.

Resolutions: To fix it, please follow these steps;

a.         Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.

b.         Locate and then click the following registry sub-key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

c.         If the AutoShareServer and AutoShareWks DWORD values in the LanmanServer\Parameters sub-key are configured with a value data of 0, change that value to 1.

Note If these values do not exist, you do not have to create them because the default behavior is to automatically create the administrative shares.

d.         Quit Registry Editor.

f.         Restart the computer.
