The server must have a user name already stored to allow other PC to
access a resource.

what do you mean??????

 

[Jaelani C. U.]

You must add a user name into the PC which has the C$ share, so the server
will recognize it.
The user name must be the same with the user name of the PC which need to
mount.
Because the C$ share is for administrator, the user name (in the server)
must be a member of administrators group.

a user name in administrator's group exists, but i cant choose it to connect

Hi

Possibly a ForceGuest issue...

WinXP in a workgroup setting defaults to authenticate all connections coming
from "the network" as the Guest User (only possible to change on WinXP Pro).

say your admin user is admin and your password is god

from cmd.exe or a batch file
net use s: \\station\c$ /user:domain\admin god
This will map the drive

net use s: \\station\c$ /user:domain\admin
This will prompt the user for a password and, if correct, map a drive

net use \\station\c$ /user:domain\admin god
this will authenticate without mapping a drive, usefull if you use UNC
codes

Not that I recommend any of this, just fyi.

If you need to share the C$, create a new share and grant the
appropriate rights to the share.
