Re: 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.


I never did it through group policies, but the registry setting is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system\
Add DWORD Value LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy set to 1

Hope this helps.
