Re: remote administration via hidden shares

On a Windows box use something like

net use x: \\host\c$ /user:domain\user

and have a domain admin account (and all computers in that domain). If you are
not using domains, you will need a local admin account to connect (and domain
is the computer name in that case)

Andreas

I am trying to remotely administer serveral computers via the C$ share
(e.g. remote installation of anti-virus sw). All of our computers belong
to the same WG. How do I go about accessing the hidden share?
