Administrative shares

Hi all.

I have a Windows 2000 server standard domain with A.D.

Who is allowed to connect and browse the LAN PCs administrative shares
(i.e.: \\PC_Name\c$ ) ?
Only the users in the local admin group of each client and the Domain
Admins ?

Thanks, Rosgiof.

Any user, group, and/or computer object that is a member of the built-in
Administrators group.

Correct, hence the reason they are called Administrative shares.

Thank you very much to Neo and Simon for the kind and very quick help,
you are very kind!
Because of my not very good (but very bad... :-) english, could I make
an example to better understand?

- domain user A_user can login (local) on pc X_client and is local
admin of pc X_client
- domain user B_user can login (local) on pc Y_client and is local
admin of pc Y_client

- user A_user is allowed to browse \\X_client\c$ (and d$, etc.) from
remote (via LAN)
- user B_user is allowed to browse \\Y_client\c$ (and d$, etc.) from
remote (via LAN)

- user A_user is NOT allowed to browse \\Y_client\c$ from remote (via
LAN)
- user B_user is NOT allowed to browse \\X_client\c$ from remote (via
LAN)

Is this correct?

Thank again from the kind help.
Bye, Rosgiof.
