Discovered an interesting difference between NT4 and Windows 2000 Pro the
other day when I was trying to 'push' some updates across the network.
Under NT4, I've always been able to access the administrative shares (C$,
D$, ADMIN$, LOGON$, etc) irrespective of wether FILE and PRINT SHARING was
enabled in Control Panel/Networks.  Windows 2000 Pro behaves differently.
If you do not have FILE and PRINT SHARING check boxed in My Network
Places/properties/Local Connections/properties, the w2k box is not shown in
My Network Places/Computers Near Me; you can't make it appear using
Find/Computers; you can't attach to it with NET USE x:
\\machinename\resource /user:[domain]\username password
This is moving away from  what I've wanted, starting with NT. To be able to
attach to admin shares even if file and print sharing is off AND for the
machine to not appear in network neighborhood/my network places even if
file and print sharing is turned on. (some of which can be accomplished
with use of policies or registry tweaks)
