FIXED: ADMIN$ and IPC$ share not found
I've been beating my head a bit on this issue. I can't connect to a Windows 7 workstation using my Domain Admin credentials. Running the Remote Repair tool locally showed no issues. Running it remotely showed that Admin$ and IPC$ were not able to be found (but it could complete the other two tests).
After some digging, I found some help from the eSET forums, and adapted. They suggested to make sure the "File and Printer Sharing" was enabled on the Network Adapter. I look, and it wasn't! So I added it. Still no go. I went to my PC, and opened the Network Adapter, and added in 3 others, so the list was complete:
Client for Microsoft Networks (Client)
QoS Packet Scheduler (Service)
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks (Service)
IP v6 (Protocol)
IP v4 (Protocol)
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver (Protocol)
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder (Protocol)
If any of these are missing, I clicked the Install button, then either Client, Service or Protocol, and added them. I then rebooted the workstation, and I can deploy to it, and Remote Repair states it's working!
Suggestion to the team - add a check for whatever protocols or services or clients are absolutely required to deploy, and run the check locally.
