Hi Mike.

I think the problem is that you used d$ in the share path. D$ would be a
hidden administrative share that only administrators can access. If you
create a share for what you want to do just list it in the path such as
\\server-name\Terminal assuming terminal would be the name of the
hare. --- Steve
