Default Virus Software and GPO

Our McAfee Virus software cannot be installed on some of our machines
automatically because the workstation admin$ share is only allowing guest to
access it.

I have changed the Group Policies to: Network Access: Sharing and security
model for local accounts - "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves"

This has worked on some of the machines but, not all of them. Is there
another setting that may be causing this?

The GPO is being handed out via Novell Zenworks. The users in this senario
have Administrative rights to the local machine. We do not use the XP
Firewall.

I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
TJ

Guest account should NOT access the admin$, c$ or other administrative shares.
If the Guest account (which SHOULD be disabled on a Domain) has elevated privileges then
that affected platforms may already be infected with a SDBot, GAOBot or other BOT type worm.
