The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q158433 SYMPTOMS
When you re-create administrative shares (ADMIN$, C$, D$) from Windows NT
version 4.0 Server Manager, a general protection fault occurs with the
following message:
services.exe
Exception: access violation (0xc0000005), Address: 0x77f64bc3
CAUSE
When you try to specify the permissions when re-creating the
administrative shares through Server Manager, it causes an access
violation in services.exe.
RESOLUTION
Do not set the permissions on the new administrative share. This problem
does not appear if you do not try to specify the permissions for the newly
created administrative share.
NOTE: This problem does not exist in Windows NT 3.51. If you specify the
permissions, Server Manager displays an informational pop-up window that
states:
This has been shared for administrative purposes. The permissions cannot
be set.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service
Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word
