Unable to access administrative shares remotely
I am trying to access the admin shares on about 10 IBM Thinkpads that are on the network and am unable to do so. I can access these shares on other brands of desktops and laptops on the network, just not on any of the IBM systems.
I get \\comp\admin$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Not enough server storage is available to process this command.
I am using a domain admin account to connect to the share and have used another admin account with no luck. Domain admin group is in the local administrator group on the computers along with the other account that I have tried using to access the shares.
Another thought I just had was to create a normal share folder and I get the same error trying to access that. I can however access printers and scheduled tasks, but not any shared folders.
File and Printer sharing is turned on, firewall is disabled, I also check ThinkVantage Access connections and made sure file sharing was not disabled there and it is not. This error is there with and without simple file sharing turned on.
Any ideas?

You have to turn on "Allow remote access".

Remote Access is turned on.
Remote Desktop and assistance are already enabled and can be RDP'd into just fine without any problems.

Not sure, but it deffenitely sounds like a drive or file permission problem because you can access the printers.
Have you tried using a local admin account to access the C$ ?

can't access it using the local admin account either, gives the same error.
My first thought was a peice of the IBM software that may be blocking it but I can't find one that would be causing problems. But I really want to think it almost has to be something specific with IBM's as our other 70 some Dell's don't have a problem with it.

You got me. Sorry.
I run a bunch of IBM and Lenovo machines and do not have this issue.

If you don't want to restart the machine (maybe it's a server) use this command in command promt (cmd):
net stop lanmanserver
net start lanmanserver
net stop lanmanserver
net start lanmanserver

Fixed the problem exactly. Performed what EugenX stated and everything is now working perfectly.
I'm glad everything worked out ;)
