Cannot access Admin shares
I have two Windows 10 machines and a Windows 8.1 machine:
- PCWIN10-01
- PCWIN10-02
- PCWIN8-03
I want to be able to open admin shares on PCWIN10-01 from PCWIN10-02 and I am getting access denied. Both machines have Creators update. I have searched online for the past week and tried all suggestions I can find and none work. I tried changing these in the registry to no avail:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\AllowInsecureGuestAuth = 1HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy = 1
These are set the same on both Windows 10 machines. However, here's the bizarre problem: When I open the admin share on PCWIN10-02 from PCWIN10-01, it works fine, but not the other way around! And to top it off, from the PCWIN8-03, I have no problems opening admin shares on either of the Win 10 machines.
The most important thing I need to do is to be able to open admin shares on PCWIN10-01 from PCWIN10-02, and that's precisely where I get access denied. No amount of rebooting has fixed the problem. I don't know what else to do.
I created shares in PCWIN10-01 and granted Everyone - Read permissions, and those open just fine from PCWIN10-02, but when granting Administrators - Full Control, it does not work. It still only gets Read access. The drives I am connecting to on PCWIN10-02 are exFAT so there is no NTFS security tab and I am using the same name and password on all systems. They are all in WORKGROUP (no domain).
Thanks for any suggestions
