Hi, I am Getting "System Error 5 Has Occurred access is denied" on Windows 2008 Server During Execution of net use command even if i am supplying correct user name and password. My Windows 2008 Server host name is For example "host0909" and I am using following command: "net use \\host0909\c$ /user:administrator password" . If i execute command like "net use \\host0909\c$" it works fine. What could be the reason for such error. Regards, Manish Patel

Hi, Please temporary disable User Account Controller (UAC) to check the result: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. In Control Panel, click User Accounts. 3. In the User Accounts window, click User Accounts. 4. In the User Accounts tasks window, click Turn User Account Control on or off. 5. If UAC is currently configured in Admin Approval Mode, the User Account Control message appears. Click Continue. 6. Clear the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box, and then click OK. 7. Click Restart Now to apply the change right away, or click Restart Later, and then close the User Accounts tasks window.

I have logged in with the Administrator credentials and also executed this command from the Command Prompt which was run as administrator.

Thanks Arthur. It worked after disabling UAC.
