hi,

is there a way to rename the administrative shares on a win2000 computer?

thanks

but this will also prevent myself from accessing c$

Why not disable the use of all ADMIN$ shares and go about creating your own?

I have yet to see a true need for this, cause only members of the Administrator group have access to those shares.

As long as you can trust your fellow admins.....

 

I'm working on a policy to disable the server service on our network. Got some other projects to do first tho.

I think you should get and read the pdf file from http://www.cisecurity.org/ they have a tool to analyse your security and compare it with different standards (including the NSA). Apart from being a very good read, it mentions several ways to disable these shares

 

If you can't find it, PM me and I'll send it to you.
