PSEXEC Tool v. 1.90

[JamesDover]

I am working with the psexec tool the new version 1.90 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Security/PsExec.mspx) as of Nov 5 2007. And I was reading you need to have admin$ turned on. Has anyone found a way to enable only admin$ and not c$ they seem to both be enabled at the same time or both disabled at the same time. I use auto-it to push out software however I feel enabling c$ would cause a security risk. Also is admin$ a security risk for viruses and such?

Thanks

opening any hardrive to the network lets the viruses fly over to your computer, but if you have them password enabled i think you are much safer.. but even if you dont share anything on the network, you will still not be 100% secure from viruses. Its fine to share on your local home network tho.

You can micromanage the indidual shares from computer management (see attached)

Thankyou for the responces. Also nice example evilertoaster. This is on a network about 350 computers and psexec seems to be the answer with auto-it pushing the software. I found my pc brings back the shares after a restart even after I chose stop sharing. Oh well I'll keep looking.
