Windows 7 c$ share access denied

Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Ken Varn. I have a Windows 7 system that is in a Workgroup. I have shared the C root with a sharename called CDrive. I am trying to access this share with a Windows XP system that is enrolled in a Domain. The net use completes successfully, however, when I try to access the shared drive I get a message "Access is denied".

Why is this happenning and how can I correct it? I have seen other posts on similar sharing issues with Windows 7 and XP, but most seem to indicate that both the XP and Windows 7 system must belong in the same workgroup. What about if they do not like in my case? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question You need to take ownership of your drive C: somehow, after that only you can grant permissions to users.

Try to enter safe mode, login as "Administrator" enable that account first if it is currently disabled. Navigate to Security Tab, then click Advanced. Go to Owner tab, then change the ownership to "Administrator" first. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Edit: I can ping the machine from another computer by computername command prompt , so that part of DNS works, but just can't map a drive to the machine by computername.

M ake sure it is disabled. Same issue here Same issue here. However I'm only seeing this on Windows 10 What does remote desktop have to do with accessing a server share?

You are a part of what makes technet the worlds most useless forum, take the time to read the question before pasting rubbish and then marking that rubbish as the answer. But when denying the whole Windows 10 Baseline GPO for the target client, accessing an admin share from a remote client works after Windows 10 presents the UAC prompt before.

Follow this steps :. Another quick solution find in the web is to use credential manager. Add a new Windows Credential enter the hostname of your target computer in network location and your admin account. Another way to access Administrative Shares is to disable the Admin Approval mode for all administrator accounts.

Note that this setting not only removes the remote UAC restrictions as described above, but it also affects UAC for logged-on administrator accounts. They are only idiot responses pasted out by automated scripts. Admittedly, there are thousands of them with the Microsoft signature.

I have discovered that there are multiple instances of the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy which can be found by selecting F3 after modifying the first and subsequent keys. Have you cracked this nut? Thanks, NorikiX. Thanks Alexey, I came to say this worked for me after trying my hand at all the other attempts in this thread to no avail.
