SYMPTOMS

If you try to disable the administrative shares on a Windows 2000-based cluster by changing the following registry values to 0 (zero), the default administrative shares on cluster disks are not disabled:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters\AutoShareWks


CAUSE

When a cluster fails over, a shared disk is automatically shared as a hidden share by the cluster, even if the AutoShareServer registry value is set to 0 (zero).
