Administrative share across domains

Hi all,

I have a, most likely, silly question. I am trying to access a hidden share
(\\computer\c$) on a workstation in a child domain. I am a member of the
domain admins group in the parent domain and this group is a member of the
local administrators group in the child domain.

However, whenever I attempt to access the hidden share I get prompted for a
username and password. I am unable to connect using the credentials of the
account I am currently logged in as.

I then try to authenticate using: child-domain-name\local-admin-account. I
then get the following error:

Logon Failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer.

If I use terminal services and log on to the child domain controller, I can
connect and authenticate with the hidden share on the workstation.

Am I missing something here or...

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Administrators group on the child domain is not in the administrators group of the workstation. You actually need to add
the domain admins group from the parent domain to the workstations administrators group OR use an ID that is a member of
the domain admins group of the child domain (note that ID will have to exist in the child domain).
