remote share

[steveg]

Can anyone shed some light on how to properly execute an admistrator
remote share on the c drive.
I always get the guest signon window with guest greyed out so I can't
login as administrator.

From IE I have tried different forms of the following:

\\192.168.1.2\c$ /u:admin
\\192.168.1.2\c$ * /u:admin

Also, I have tried "net use" from DOS as follows:

net use * \\192.168.1.2\c$ * /user:admin

Thanks,

Well, it wouldn't be admin, it would be administrator, unless you changed
the name, right?

Also - I believe you need to disable simple file sharing on the remote
computer in order to do this. Or, add an identical account/pw on the remote
computer, so that passthrough authentication works.

On your net use, reverse the asterick and the username. The proper net use
syntax would be:

net use \\computer_or_ip\c$ /user:myusername *

Which should get you prompted for the password.

Yes, I created another admin login called admin with full access.
So, are you saying that if I keep simple file sharing enabled (which I
would prefer), then it should work with the admin login I am using?

\\192.168.1.2\c$ /u:admin or
\\192.168.1.2\c$ * /u:admin

Unfortunately, I still get the greyed out guest login window prompt.

Also, with the corrected syntax od net use "net use \\computer_or_ip\c$
/user:myusername *" I get an unknown user name or bad password error

Thanks,

Does that account exist identically on the other computer (same name &
password & rights) ? If so, I don't think you need to provide credentials at
all. That said, I don't work with workgroups much, so I may be wrong.

Try net use x: \\OtherComputer\share /user:OtherComputer\username

Don't try to connect to the root/default share. I missed that the first
time. Set up your own share(s).
