Hi,

Quick question, we have removed all users from the administrators/
domain admin groups for security reasons.

Surely not ALL users. You've left the built-in Administrator account in
there, I trust.

However one side affect of
this has been that we can no longer brows to unc admin shares eg:
\\server1\c$ even when we use the administrator username and password
and with the domain prefix eg: domain\administrator as the user when
prompted for an authorised user.

Who are you logging in as when you try to do this?

Does anybody know if this is standard behaviour and if it is is there
a way round it? Or is is down to s Group policy setting that we may
have added in the past for example?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I agree with the other reply you got - don't connect to the admin share. Why
would you need to? I personally don't explicitly share anything on the
system volume on a server - set up the shares you wish, but unless there is
some urgent and compelling reason you haven't provided here, don't use the
admin shares, and don't set up another share at the root.

Cheers

Rich
