Whilst trying to access the c$ share on a machine in a child domain but we
are prompted for a username/password unexpectedly. I am using an account
with Enterprise Admin rights and can connect to the c$ share on DCs in any
of the child domains, however this doesn't work for ordinary clients or
member servers. What is going wrong? I'm sure we used to be able to do
this! The reason we need this access is to enable deployment of the client
for our chosen Desktop Management System (LANDesk).

Thanks in advance,

Stephen.
 
The enterprise administrators global group is added to the administrators
group on the domain controllers which allows it to administer domain
controllers and Actice Directory, etc. The domain admins group of each
domain is in the local administrators group of all domain members. Try
adding that account to the domain admins group of the children domains. ---

I need to add that you will need to create a matching user account in the
children domains before you can add it to the domain admins global group for
that domain. --- Steve
