Dear all, I have at a customer site a server 2008 Standard machine which is connected to customer network but not attached to a domain. On this server I set up an administrator password What my customer reports is that from an XP machine where it is logged as administrator, he can freely access the C$ share drive without any password prompting. That is strang for me becasue normally it should have been request for Administrative password in order to connect to the server. How can it be possible ? How to avoid this, nay policy setting ? regards sergeYour knowledge is enhanced by that of others.

Hi, 1. Does the administrator account on the both computer have the identical password? What happens if you change the password of the administrator account on the server side? 2. Do you have the administrator account user name and password stored on the WIndows XP? Is there any stored user name and password for remote resource accessing on the Windows XP client?

It is solved, The customer share once a folder with admin accounts and save credentialsYour knowledge is enhanced by that of others.
