Enable Admin Share

Reason

The ADMIN$ share is needed for remote administration to copy files to the computer. This is necessary for any administrative task that is going to execute a process, such as a software deployment, that needs to be copied to the computer.

Cause

The ADMIN$ share can be removed manually or it can be permanently disabled in the registry.

Repair

Removes any registry key that disables the share and restarts the Server service (which will re-create all administrative shares.)
