Re: S2k3 Cannot access C$ but have correct permission

Hi Kat,
Let's troubleshoot this from the beginning and see what you have here.

1. To any other server you can do a run command \\server\c$ and submit the
Domain Administrator and password? Yes?
2. You cannot run the above command to a particular server? Yes?
3. You get the error message "\\server\c$ is not accessible. You might not
have permission to use this network resource." Yes?
4. You can access that same server \\server\d$ no problem? Yes?

Here's what you need to check. Some of it is redundant but still check it
anyways.
1. Check the local machine "Administrator" group and confirm "Domain Admins"
is a member.
2. Check to make sure you actually do have C$ shared. By defualt it is and
you can change it but it will change back after reboot.
3. Compare the security on C$ to D$ and also to another server that has C$
accessable.
4. Double check the NTFS security for C:\ and make sure the local
"Administrators" have FULL access.

I have always been able to Start, Run, \\server\c$, enter the domain
admin account, and work as needed. I do this for every computer and
server on my network. I have never received this error in 3 years.

I'm not sure why this server is different. It's as though it doesn't
matter what I enter into the login prompt, it is going only by what
account I am currently logged into. I suppose I'll just give up and
assume the server is corrupt somehow...
