Using the administrative C$ share

I'm developing an application which remotely installs a service. This is
done by copying the service files' to the c$ share on the target
machine, connecting to scm, installing and starting the service, which
worked fine for all >= windows nt systems.
Now, I experienced serious problems doing this in Windows Vista (Vista
Ultimate, Build# 6000):
as it seems, the C$ share and the SCM can only be accessed remotely by
the user 'Administrator' (not by any other user which is member of the
'Administrators' group), which is disabled by default.
I also generally wonder how remote network administration may work in
this scenario.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your help.
Seems to work fine using this registry entry (both c$ share and scm
connect).
I assume that this problem only exists when using local computer
administrators when you say that it works with (ads) domain administrators.
