You can use group policies to disable administrative shares by registry updates: http://www.petri.co.il/disable_administrative_shares.htm More here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2007/08/14/deploying-custom-registry-changes-through-group-policy.aspx This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Dear Boss, The user Domain Admin group Hello, if they are domain admin you can configure what you like, either with GPO or local, they still can REVERT the configuration becuase they are domain admin.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
