Frightening thought, I know, however:

This machine is a busy file server. I run a network virus scanner from
another machine. I need to provide access to drive C on the file server to
the virus scanner, but Win 2003 won't let me share drive C. How do I share
drive C on Win 2003 please?

Kind Regards

Jennifer

Hmmm. If this is a file server, why doesn't it have a local client (realtime
protection)?

It's already shared as an admin share - direct your other server to
\\server\c$

Thank you Lanwench. The server does have real-time protection. I am running a
complete system scan from another machine.
