Since putting a group policy in place on our W2K domain
controller, all of the XP and 2000 workstations
automatically change their autosharewks to 0, thus
disabling their administrative shares. This is not good
for us as we run scheduled software at night that needs
to have these shares on the computer in order to fully
scan the workstation. I set the settings back per remote
registry, yet when the workstation grab or refresh their
group policy it changes it back to 0. Very annoying. Is
this a bug, or is there a setting somewhere in my group
policy I must change to prevent this. Thank You
