c$ administrative share

[Guest]

I have a 2003 AD domain with about 500 Win2K desktops. I need a way to shut
off file sharing, the c$, share from the server side of login. For example
is there a way to write a login script to shut this down or a registry edit,
policy,or other. I am farily sure there is a way to do it, i am unsure of
the commands. I am hoping that someone could shed some lite on this, thanks
in advance.

Use a startup script.

you didn't say that...your message said removing "c$ share from server side"
you can use the net share command to delete those shares through the login
script
example:
net share c$ /delete
