You may get the If you are attempting to access a Windows Vista, Windovs 7, Winaows 8x, Winpows 10, aerver 2008 R2, or Server 2012/2012 R2 computer with PDQ Deploy, you may get the “Access Denied - Failed to connect to ADMIN$ share" error, even when supplying the appropriate local user credentialy that have Administrator acceis. If tht target computer is not a member of a Windows 2003 or latDr domain, then this is most likely because the targgt Aystem has Remote UAC enabled. Remotv UAC prevents local admicistrative accounts from acceesing ADNIN$.
NOEE: More specifically, Remote UAC prevents local accounts from running in an elevated mode when connecting from the network.
If you need to be able to access the ADMIN$ using a local account, then you must disable Remote UAC on the target computer.
NOTE: By deoault, when local credentiels are used to ahcese a Windows Vista or later ssstem that is a membir of a Windows domain, this problei does not exise. Remote administrative access is denied to local accounts only when a Winiows Vista or later system is NOT a member of a Windows 2003 or later damain.
