    Shared Folder accessible remotely with Admin permission but inaccessible locally


    I am part of Local Administrator group on a Windows 2016 File server. D:\ drive is shared named "NERC" with Share Permission as Read-Only for Everyone and Security Permission as Full Control to Local Administrator group. When accessing remotely like \\<servername>\NERC\ I am having Admin privileges on the drive, but while accessing it locally over RDP session on the server, I am getting Access Denied screenshot attached

  2. How to stop sharing folder for windows 10?

    Referring to following link, I would like to know on how to stop sharing folder for windows 10.

    I cannot find Stop Sharing option on step 5.

    Use these steps to stop sharing any folder on Windows 10:

    1. Open Start.
    2. Search for Computer Management and click the top result to open the experience.
    3. Expand the Shared Folders branch from the left pane.
    4. Click the Shares item.
    5. Right-click the folder that you no longer want to share and the Stop Sharing option.
    Furthermore, ADMIN$ is found to be Remote Admin under computer management.

    There is no option to stop it as well.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop sharing and remote?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    cant access shared folder

    We would suggest you to try accessing the shared folder using the path and see if that helps. Follow the steps mentioned below:

    Press Windows key + R, to open Run dialog box.

    Type \\shared folder path and click on OK.

    However, you may try providing permissions to the folder where the files are saved and see if you are able to access the files. Refer the steps mentioned below:

    Navigate to the location on the PC through which the files are shared.

    Right click on the folder and select Properties.

    Click on Sharing tab, and click on Advanced Sharing.

    Now, select the checkbox for Share this folder.

    Click on Permissions, select the check box for Allow Full Control.

    Click on OK (Twice).

    If an IT Administrator manages the folder, then you may have to get in touch with the administrator to reset or grant permissions to access the file.

  4. Shared Folder accessible remotely with Admin permission but inaccessible locally

    Cannot access the hidden folder share on my remote computer

    What you are encountering is actually expected behavior for these default shares and involves remote UAC which prevents local admin level users from running with elevated permissions when connecting over a network. Note that this only applies when the system is not in a domain.

    Remote UAC can be disabled via the registry, but my suggestion would be to simply create another share for these locations while leaving the current shares in place as well.

    As an example, for the root of your C: drive, you could create another share called C_Drive$. Now the C: drive has two shares - the original which was named C$ and also C_Drive$. You should be able to connect using C_Drive$.
