Doesn't seem like all the machines are correctly members of the domain. &nbsp;The domain admin is automatically added to the local admin group when you add a machine to the domain. &nbsp;If you cannot access the admin share there may be a problem with domain membership or a GPO that is restricting access. &nbsp;Check Resultant Policy in AD to see what policy settings may be restricting you from admin shares.

It sounds to me as though the 'Domain Admins' group has been removed from membership of the problematic machine's local Administrators group.<br />
<br />
You can use Restricted Groups to force the Domain Admins group back as a member of the Administrators group, which should restore the permissions to network logins.<br />

I'm trying to access some network computers via c$..,  I have access to most but there's a few I cannot access.. Is there away I can access these computers without physically jumping from machine to machine adding myself to the local permissions?

Is it possible to access network computers with domain admin privleges and not local privleges?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
