Hello Sentme_mail,

Implement this tweak

Then create a new share and affix a $ sign at the end of the share name. This action will hide the share from basic users.

how do i automate this task on 200+ computers ?

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning for changing the admin shares on the clients. Basic users don't have the proper permissions to access those shares by default.

if i have authenticated users added to the local admin group of the desktops, will this allow any user to be able to connect to any administrative shares on other computers?

[POBrien]

Not unless they are members of the Domain Administrators group. Could you please test on your end to verify?
