Cannot access C drive via VPN

  • 772

We have configured VPN in windows 2008 server. Two NIC one public and a loopback adapter with private IP 192.168.2.200.

We can connect via VPN for any users in system and can check the shares \192.168.2.200, however If we try to connect drive \192.168.2.200\c$ for any users other than administrator it gives 'Logon unsuccessful' message. Only administrator can connect.

Now we have shared the C drive to gain access to files for the users connecting to system. I have checked with Firewall and other network and share settings in the server which is fine.

Any idea will be highly appreciated!.

  1. Thats how its supposed to be. Shares with a $ after it are administrative shares and thus you have to be an administrator to get to it.

    Edit: After verifying pauskas comment it would appear that only the default shares like that are administrator equivalent only.
