Need to audit shares and shared ACL for non-domain server.

I have a server on my network that is not joined to our domian. I was asked to audit this server to find what resources are shared and the applied permissions to the share.

I cannot access the server via remote desktop or any remote software that uses the console. I do have the local admin username and password.

I used psexec.exe with net share -u -p, but i would like something a little easier.

Thanks
Jason

Use the UNC path of that machine to connect and view the shares.

Start Run \\<ipaddress> or <machinename> and enter. When prompted for credentials put in  <COMPUTERNAME>\administrator and then the password.

Also try connecting with the net use command.
from CMD prompt:     net use z: \\<computername> or <ipaddress> /User:<computername>\administrator
The server doesn't have to be joined in a domain to run on its audit policy, read this MS article which explains how: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325898

Sorry, but I don't want to run an local or group audit policy

bbao:
thanks for your help.

This is a lawson server that has been misconfigured several times and allowed anyone to connect and delete information in the shared drives. Upper management wanted me to connect, without the lawson person knowing about it, and retieve all shares and assingned permissions. This person was warned several times to reconfigure the server, but never did. I want to audit the shares without getting on the console. I just bit the bullet and logged in and used the compmgmt.mmc console to audit the shares and permissions.

Thanks for all your help.
