Admin share - C$

Hi,
I have entered a feature request for that.

+1 good idea

David, Do you know if the feature is for version 9 or maybe afterwards?

It's that kind of feature that we add near the end of the beta. I can promise you. On the other hand, have you tried to create a Macro/Script/Tool to do that?

No I have not, I will give it a shot. Thanks!

Hi!

Are there any news? That feature would be quite important for me.

Regards,
Stril

Hi

As a workaround, you can create a Macro/Script/Tool of the "command line" type and set the Run command to

%systemroot%\system32\runas.exe /netonly /user:$DOMAIN$\$USERNAME$ "c:\windows\explorer.exe /root,\$HOST$\c$"

You will have to enter the password in the DOS window manually though.

That new tool will appear in the dashboard of your sessions (right hand column), and you will have to set the proper credentials in the "Tools" tab

I really need this feature. Was this never added?

Hello joncavallo,

May I suggest looking into the File Explorer entry type? If I understand your request well and you are looking to browse with an explorer to a specific path, this would do the trick.

Best regards,

File Explorer entry does work but I would like to be able to right click on any RDP entry and select an option to connect to the C$ share of that server. So that dynamically opens a File Explorer session instead of having to configure one manually.

We create these kind of links as a subconnection below our RDP connections.
On each 'parent' = RDP connection, make sure to configure within the 'Asset' tab; host and domain for each RDP entry. these values can be reused on multiple places so if you copy a connection there is only 1 or 2 places to update the specific hostname.

Then create a subconnection of type: File Explorer and use in the subconnection as the foldername:
\\$PARENT_INFORMATION_MACHINE_NAME$.$PARENT_MACHINE_DOMAIN$\C$

This allows for easy re-use and copy of the subconnection items since their value is identical everywhere.
