IPC$ gets removed automitcally

Hi Guys !!

I have a very strange problem -
I have Windows 2K Advanced Server with ADS. The server is working fine, but in between if any user tries to logon, he receives "User Name/Password Incorrect" though the Username/Password is correct. I found out that the IPC$ share gets removed (This also disables all the shares on the server). On the server i did "Net Share IPC$" the problem was solved, but occurs again after some time. So I have to do "Net Share IPC$" again and again after some time. Can any one help me ????


Thanks and Regards

Have you checked the value of the registry's RestrictAnonymous key?

Hi !! Sahir,

Can u Please tell me which registry keys r to be checked ???

The RestrictAnonymous Registry key can be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA. If it is set to 2, that might explain why you're having problems. Try setting the value to 1. I wouldn't recommend setting it to 0.

Hi !!

Thanks Saahir and Dalight for the kind help
