ways to enable the admin$ share ?

[Snow-Munki]

Hi,

will eventually need to enable the admin$ share for quite a few machines to install a piece of software.

atm I enable the Telnet services of the said machine, Telnet onto it and then run the admin$ share command.

This works but obviously there must be a better way.

was thinking either group policy or login scripts.

Any other good ways of doing this ?

Thanks

For NT 4.0 Workstation/W2K Pro/XP Pro, the change is:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
Name: AutoShareWks
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0



thats for disabling, so change the 0 to a 1 and see if that does it..
