recreate $ shares at reboot

[Lowland]

My PDC (NT4 server SP6a) won't recreate $ shares to drives at re-boot (c$, d$, e$), and I'm hoping someone might have some pointers

Net share recreates them, so does sharing at the machine, but re-boot loses them!

Thanks

This doesn't sound too promising. It is rare to find an article with a statement like:

CAUSE
The cause is unknown.

But there is a workaround...

Admin$ and IPC$ Shares Missing at Domain Controller Startup

Thanks Ya_Know. The admin$, print$, IPC$, netlogon$ and all the others recreate, but not the drives!!!

NooNoo has given me a steer with net use \\comutername\sharename/persistent:yes
but I get system errors, so I'm wondering if this is physical problem, not software.

Thanks for your help though - Take Care

Easy fix!

Open up regedit, and navigate to the following two keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\lanmanserver\parameters

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\lanmanworkstation\parameters

under the 'Parameters' key, look for two DWORD values named 'AutoShareServer' and 'AutoShareWks'. Set the value data for these two DWORD entries from '0' to '1', then exit the Registry Editor & bounce the server. After a reboot, you should note that your $ shares on all drives are now restored

Thanks Mike [Nepatec], that was right on the money

The wrkstation keys were set at 1, the server keys weren't


Now all I have to do is figure what caused [what I assume must be] the default settings to change.

Anyway, thanks again, I appreciate the help

Running System policy is what creates that string...Right?
