    Accessing administrative shares


    I have a networked Windows 10 Pro computer A with built-in 'Administrator' account disabled. However, it has a "normal" administrator account named 'Admin'.

    I would like to access administrative share '\\A\C$' from another computer B in the network. Windows asks me for access credentials. I enter 'Admin' and the corresponding password. This results in "access denied" error.

    Hence the question: What's preventing the access?

    My guesses are

    1. (Unlikely: ) Administrative shares are accessible to the built-in 'Administrator' only.
    2. (More likely: ) Administrative shares are accessible to a designated set of users and there's a way to control it. My homemade 'Admin' is not on the list.
    3. (Most likely: ) Network access to administrative shares is completely disabled by default in Windows 10, but can be enabled somehow.
    4. Something else?

    :)

    network default administrative shares not being generated for CD/DVD drive

    just tested another system that was also running Windows 10 Pro (same build and update version) but no VM present or used, and it suffers from the same issue. the CD/DVD drive is not having the ADMIN shares generated by the server service.

    Accessing administrative shares

    Type the name of the computer you want to access and then the user name as shown here: a\admin
    The example you showed above was only admin and the password. Computer "A" thinks the admin user from computer "B" is trying to connect. Hope this helps...

    Could it be this? (from Wikipedia)

    You could add a LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy DWORD in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and set it to 1.
