Its' not that the administrative share doesn't exist. It is there under shares in computer management, and you can connect to it via the UNC path, but the permissions seem to be altered. that's what I don't understand.

If you plug in a USB drive, or, unplug and then plug it back in, you'll lose the administrative share.

All are configured as U:\ Recently we have been unable to write to these drives through the administrative share (\\server\u$). We get "Access is Denied". It's not on every machine but on more than a few. We can access the drive locally without issues, just not through the UNC path. And all other administrative shares are working normally (i.e. c$, d$, etc....) We are using accounts that have local admin rights on the servers. Anyone run into something like this before?
