Re: Accessing Shares of Users that shouldnt be possible! :(



From: "Cstorms" <corystorms@xxxxxxxxx>

| Hello, I have a question. When we input \\(usercomputername)\c$ on some
| of our users we can access that share without being prompted with a
| logon or anything, on majority however it fails completely, now me and
| another local admin have both the same setup on our machines however I
| can access his c$ but he not mine, it just fails out. Why in the world
| would someone who is a basic user be able to access someones c$ with no
| problem at all. The local machines have the user account deleted and
| the admin account setup with a password. The local admin also is added
| to one of our groups and through that group they just get basic mapped
| drives and thats about it. Is it something locally? We dont want to add
| something to the registry to simply disable the share we would really
| just like to know the root cause of the problem. Thank you for your
| help in advance

If you have administrative rights on that computer, you can access the administrative
shares.
