Default Administrative Share Security

I'm looking for information that defines what security groups are given access to administrative shares by default. I've found this article on Technet:

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo...e891-4107-aa2e-9d180428055d1033.mspx?mfr=true

but that simply tells me that there are default groups, not what those groups actually are. Has anyone found an official 'list' or statement from MS about what these groups are on a 2003 server with current patch revision?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know of any MS doc that lists this but as far as I know;

For the drive admin shares (C$, D$ etc) and the Admin$ Share are accessible in NT/2000/XP/2003 by the Domain or Built-in Administrators groups. In Windows NT/2000 the members of the Server Operators group can also access these shares.
