Can't access \\target\c$

[ncfpagan]

Hi All,

I purpose to manage my 120 PCs Windows XP Home OEM thorugh C$, ADMIN$ by PSEXEC.EXE (Sysinternal tool kit) but M$ turn it off.

First method : change XP Home to XP Pro

(1.1) Change to XP Pro by clear register "ProductSuite" value and restart

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet00X/Control/ProductOptions]

"ProductSuite"=""

(1.2) Change to XP Pro by Tweak NT

(1.3) Modify setup CD from Home to Pro

BUT my boss don't use this way. It look like illegal...

Second methodology : try to use XP home as XP Pro

(2.1) Turn on security tab (require restart)

http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/down...scm/default.asp

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winn...scm/SCESP4I.exe

(2.2) Turn off force guest

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]

"forceguest"=dword:00000000

(2.3) Turn on alternate share tab temperary (warnning !!! don't restart)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Option]

"OptionValue"=dword:00000001

and turn off it

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Option]

(2.4) Turn on C$ ADMIN$ (require restart)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters]

"AutoShareServer"=dword:00000001

"AutoShareWks"=dword:00000001

(2.5) Modify user rights by NTRIGHTS.EXE (w2k3 tools kit). Allow user use this network resource.

net user guest /active:yes

ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Users

ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Users

-= NOT WORK =-

OK! C$, ADMIN$ was shared

C:\> net share

ADMIN$ C:\WINDOWS Remote Admin

C$ C:\ Default share

IPC$ Remote IPC

The command completed successfully.

But I can't use C$

C:\> net use \\target\C$ password /user:admin

System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

Have anyone success to access C$,ADMIN$ in XP HOME ??

What's the result when connecting with a defined local user?

(in stead of trying to connect via the guest-account)

Might already show where the actual prob is, user-rights / share / network...
