I'm having real trouble enabling the administrative share on a windows machine. My ultimate goal is to use PsExec to run a remote command line on the remote computer, but I've been reading that it relies on the administrative share to function. I have enabled file sharing on the machine Turn on network discover Turn on file and printer sharing Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the Public folders Media streaming is off Enable file sharing for devices that use 40 or 56 bit encryption Turn on Password protected sharing Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers I also did the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy registry entry. Every time I try and access the admin share through explorer (\\REMOTE-PC\ADMIN$) I enter the user name \\REMOTE-PC\USER and the password, but it says access denied The curious part is that I can access this computer's admin share from the remote computer, but not the other way around (both windows 7-64bit (remote is Ultimate, this one is Home Premium). Please... any help is very very appreciated. Been banging my head against the wall now for days. Nathan
