Windows

are you getting an error? have you checked permissions on the shares? anything in the security event log on share server(s)

Can you see the shares using server manager? Run server manager on an NT machine and select the server you wish to map to...see if you can see the default shares (one for each partition you have on the machine.

If you see them, you should be able to map to them, unless there has been a security change somewhere.

It is also possible that someone removed the share using server manager...if this has happened, the share will have to be recreated on the object server.

Hope this helps

Those Hidden Admin shares are created when you load "File and Print Sharing". Something to look at, as stated earlier, is that they can be deleted manually using Server Manager, or if you use System Policies, they can be deleted that way too.

Research if the shares exist first. If not, create them using Server Manager.

If they do exist and you still cannot connect to the shares then verify that you have the appropriate permissions, normally only Domain Admins have access to the hidden shares.

Thank you to all that responded to my question. It was indeed a problem with the hidden C$, D$, & E$ not being shared on the server. Once I re-enabled the shares, the problem vanished.

The only issue I now have is that if I reboot the server for any reason, those shares once again disappear! No clue as to why this might be happening. Any suggestions?

Have you scanned this server for a virus?

If the problem goes away when you reinstall the hidden shares and those shares magically disappear when you reboot, I would say, as states earlier, the problem must be a system policy.

I would use poledit to review the system policies that are applied on your server and ensure something isn't set in there that is removing the Admin shares. Off the top of my head, I seem to remember there being a security template for NT System Policies that removed the hidden shares because they were viewed at as being a vulnerability.

Suggest the Spybot.eu Trojan. Try opening Task Manager and looking for msnmsg.exe. If it shows stop it, you may have to check that it does not restart. Then see if your shares work.
