Windows Server Group Policy Disable Administrative Shares Windows 7 And EvenWindows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 and even Vista and XP create hidden administrative shares that administrators, programs, and services can use to manage the computer environment on the network.
In this article, I would like to share with you two ways to disable these shares. Advertisement By default, Windows can enable the following hidden administrative shares: Root partitions or volumes The system root folder The FAX share The IPC share The PRINT share Any user with administrative access on your local computer or Active Directory domain (if it is connected) can access any partition on your PC without your knowledge and without you explicitly sharing a folder as long as he has your user account credentials. All partitions are shared for administrators in Windows NT operating systems due to the administrative shares feature. I do not like this default behavior and always disable administrative shares right after the install. The Server service is responsible for all shares available on your PC including administrative shares. If you do not plan to use file and print sharing at all on your PC, you can disable the Server service. This will remove access to any shared folder from your Windows operating system. To disable the Server service: Press Win R shortcut keys on the keyboard and type the following in the Run dialog: services.msc Press Enter. Scroll down the right pane to the Server service and double click it. In the Server Properties dialog, change the startup type from Automatic to Disabled: Now click the Stop button: Click on OK and you are done. This solution might not be suitable for users who want to get rid of administrative shares but wish to keep their own shared folders and printers accessible from the network. Disable administrative shares using a Registry tweak Open Registry Editor.
