I am in the processing of locking down my win2000 servers.
Removing all net and administrative shares is a
recommendation. When I map to a drive on the win2000
server, it is usually \\server\c$. I don't have a label
name for drive c. It's called local disk. If I remove the
administrative shares, I will not be able to map. Is it
too late to put a label on this drive? Thank you.

Recommendation by whom? There's no compelling reason to do this.
When I map to a drive on the win2000
server, it is usually \\server\c$. I don't have a label
name for drive c. It's called local disk. If I remove the
administrative shares, I will not be able to map. Is it

Label name? Perhaps you mean share name? Seriously, if you don't
understand the difference, then taking advice about removing the default
admin shares is silly.
 
No,
I mean label name. IE, I have 2 drives (c and d) on my
server. The label name (volume name) for drive D is
Application. Label name for drive c is "local disk" since
we did not give it a name at original installation. The
share name on drive d is D$.

Right Clicking on the disk drive and selecting properties
will give you the label name (if it wxists) for the disk.
Right Clicking on the drive and selecting sharing will
give you the share name.

If you remove the admin shares, you can still map to any shares explicitly
created and shared to your user account/group as long as you know the name
of the share.
So if you want to map to the server's c: drive just share it out, call it
whatever (cdrive), setup permissions, then map to \\server\cdrive

The label of the drive has nothing to do with permissions.
 
Thank you. That was helpful.

Then what connection do you think there is between the label name and
sharing? What does the fact that you can't map any longer have to do
with adding a volume label? Your post is very unclear.
