Summary When you try and Deploy a CrossTec Package to a Windows XP Professional workstation you are Prompted for a username and password, if you enter a username and password of an account that has administrator rights to the machine CrossTec Deploy again prompts for a username and password. Eventually the deploy will fail and display an error.     Details CrossTec Deploy needs to access the Admin$ share on the remote machine in order to transfer the Package to be deployed. In Windows XP Professional edition (Configured as a member of a workgroup) the default setting for Network access is to redirect it through guest account, which is disabled by default. This means that no access is allowed to the Admin$ share. To enable network access:- Windows XP Professional In Administrative Tools select Local Security Policy Select {Security Settings}{Local Policies}{Security Options} Select {Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts} Alter the setting for this policy to {Classic - local users authenticate as themselves} The Admin$ share will be available and CrossTec Deploy will work correctly.
