I have two Windows Server 2008 machines: machine1 and machine2. They are both in a workgroup but not in a domain.
On both machines I have the user accounts 'Administrator' and 'FileTestUser' with the SAME passwords on both machines. 'FileTestUser' is member of Users and Administrators. 'Administrator' is the administrator.
I want to write on share d$ on machine2, i.e. I want to access the files via UNC from machine1:
\\machine2\d$\test.txt
When impersonating machine2\Administrator it works. When impersonating 'FileTestUser' it doesn't. How can I connect to the remote drive NOT using my administrator accounts?

The
C$,D$, etc., shares are literally called Administrative Shares.From Wikipedia:
You need to create a new share for the users, that is not a built-in administrative share.
(That the two accounts have the same password is wholly irrelevant.)
