Hi David - do you mean that when you are logged in to a computer with an
admin account, and from there you try to access another computer remotely,
you get a password prompt? How are you accessing the remote computer? If
you're using remote desktop or RWW, it's normal to get a password prompt to
log into the remote computer, regardless of how you're logged in to the
computer you're actually working at. If you're just accessing files or
Computer Management, you wouldn't normally be prompted, but to actually log
in to the remote machine would require a password.

What anti-virus program? If your desktop computers are running XP SP2, you
may have to do some configuration to allow the server-based AV to access the
desktop computers through the Windows Firewall. That would be something
you'd find out from their support web site, or post back and get the info
from someone who's already done it.
