Setting Admin Network share C$ via group policies 1

hmdeassis,
What exactly do you want to configure for the C$ share? I'm fairly sure that you can allow/deny access using NTFS permissions, but not so sure about GPO.

By default unless you disable this share, it is on all windows pc's. You dont have to configure the c$ share.

I aggree with Rye8261...as long as the "server" service is running on the clients, you will have these shares available.

Unless you've removed the administrative shares (typically a registry change), you should be able to connect to your LAN-based computers.
Log on with an account that has admin priviledges, click Start-->Run and type (in the Run box and without quotes) "\\computername\C$" where "computername" is the NetBIOS name of the remote computer. You should be able to access the C: drive of the remote computer.
A couple of thing s will prevent this, including personal firewalls (including XP SP2 firewall), File and Print services being disabled somehow, or (as mentioned above) the Server service not running.
I don't know if there is a Group Policy setting, but the procedure works on my network and I didn't set anything in GP so if there is a setting, it's not configured and active by default. I lost the ability to connect in this manner (temporarily) after installing XPSP2.
Hope this helps

How are you checking for the share? from a command prompt, type NET SHARE
This will display the shares on the local machine. You should be able to see the C$ share here. Do you see this share on your PC?
Also, you can check for your shares by going into MANAGE (right click MY computer and choose manage). Look under Shares, is the C$ listed?
