    Error when you try to access an administrative share on a Windows Vista-based computer from another Windows Vista-based computer that's a member of a workgroup:


    1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.

       Note

      If you're prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.

    4. Type LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy to name the new entry, and then press Enter.

    5. Right-click LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and then click Modify.

    6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

    7. Exit Registry Editor.

    The LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy entry in the registry can have a value of 0 or 1. These values set the behavior of the entry as follows:

    • 0 = build a filtered token

    This is the default value. The administrator credentials are removed. These credentials are required for remote administration of the print drivers.

    • 1 = build an elevated token

    This value enables the remote administration of the print drivers on a server within a workgroup.
