Server 2008 R2 x64. I can connect from the Windows 7 PC to the server
admin share c$ but I can't do the reverse. I can get to a share on my
Windows 7 PC from Windows 2008 R2 but just a general share, not my
administrative share. I currently have not yet set up a domain and even
after I do, this PC will not be a member.
