Are All of the Server Resources Properly Shared?

Some server resources are shared automatically every time the server is started. These
resources are used in the background by clients while performing other server activities.

The list of resources shared by default are as follows:

ADMIN$
C$
D$
DOSUTIL
IPC$
LIB
NETLOGON
OS2UTIL
PRINTLOG
PRINT$
USERS

The resources followed by a dollar sign ($) are special resources required for server
administration and communication. (An additional special resource — REPL$ — is
available when the Directory Replicator service is running.)

Never attempt to delete or re-share these resources. If any of these resources are absent,
the server will not function properly. If you detect that one of these resources is missing,
stop and restart the server to determine whether they are shared at server startup. If they
are not displayed, contact your service representative.

The remaining resources are default resources typically used by clients during logon
(NETLOGON), to connect to home directories (USERS), and to access utilities or error logs
(DOSUTIL, OS2UTIL, PRINTLOG). These items may be deliberately absent from your
server. However, if you did not unshare them, then a problem with the server caused them
to be removed.

Can the Server be Contacted From the Console?

A simple test can be conducted to determine whether the server is communicating over the
network. Issue the following command at the system console.

net view

The system displays the name of the server and other servers operating in the same
domain. If your server name is displayed, execute the same command, adding the server
name:

net view \\asutrial
