When you restart a domain controller running Terminal Server, your Admin$ and C$ shares may disappear?

If you try to create them in Windows NT Explorer, you may receive:

The share names admin$ and IPC$ are reserved and may not be used.

To workaround this problem:

1. NET SHARE admin$

2. NET SHARE IPC$

3. NET SHARE C$

4. Use tip 0096 to enable (set to 1) AutoShareServer and AutoShareWks.
