Windows XP SP2 and Admin Shares

[Staffa359]

Hi,

Recently we installed SP2 on all our Windows XP machines and lost the use of
admin shares.....I need to regain access to the admin shares on all my client
computers with out having to uninstall SP2.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks

Are you running GPO's?
If so, create a policy for your client computers to grant access to 445/TCP
for your management systems.

XP SP2 firewall is blocking management access.
