Administrative Shares |
|
|
A client's server (Server 2000) is not allowing workstations to view each
other or the server (workgroup environment, running Sybase driven POS
software). I checked the "Shares" folder in the Management Console on the
server, and the manually shared folders are listed, but the Administrative
shares (Admin$, C$ and IPC$) are not. I can correct the situation very
temporarily by running "Net Start IPC$", but this only lasts for less than a
minute, and then the workgroup becomes inaccessible again.
Does anyone know how this could have happened (other than intentional
sabotage) and how to correct it? |

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I tried it (both the Regedit and the
Poledit procedures) and it still drops the administrative shares within one
minute of recreating them. The POS terminals still function (using
\\servername\foldername), but I can't browse, which makes installing updates
and some other functions very difficult, racing from one end of the building
to the other before the share drops. |

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. I've read that it could be a virus or worm that
has left behind a process that is deleting the shares. This is done as a
defensive measure against competing worms. I have run AV software and worm
removal tools for the likley candidates, sanned my processes for the culprit
and have had no success. I am nearly to the point of format and install. The
symptoms are exactly the same as yours. Have you had any luck since your last
posting?
