5841.0. "Administrative shares under NT 4 - Policy Editor" by ROMEDU::NEBBIA (Mario Nebbia @RIO - Rome, Italy) Tue Mar 25 1997 08:42

Moving from NT 3.51 to NT 4.0 I noticed a different behaviour about 
administrative shares:

-	Under 3.51 each disk was assigned an administrative share (C$, D$ ...)
	that could be eliminated and that was automatically re-created at
	next boot;

-	Under 4.0 Policy Editor allows saying if administrative tools are to
	be created or not.

Is it correct?

I installed several NT 4.0 systems (all PDCs) and some look to create admin
share, others look to not crerate them. Is there a general rule? Up to now it
looks erratic to me, but I suppose a rule does exist...

Any ideas?

Suggestions, pointers and hints welcome!

Mario
