admin shares

[sentmemail]

hi,
is there a way to rename the administrative shares on a win2000 computer?
thanks

Not that I am aware of, but then I never had needed to. The default share is drive letter$ (ie: C$). the $ makes it a hidden share. You won't see it unless you have admin rights to the machine.

the problem is authenticated users are added to the local admin group whereby any users can map to any computers. how do i prevent it?

If authenticated users are added to the local admin group you are screwed. You might be able to stop them from getting in this way but all they'll have to do is bust out computer management and override you. It's kinda like having a locked door at the locksmith shop.

Dunno if this works, but it looks like what I've done in the past. Google is your friend.....
