I found out recently that work is scanning employee e-mails and accessing our Laptops/Desktops through Administrative shares. I have nothing to hide but see this as an invasion of privacy and liberty.
I would like to disable these if possible. I have admin rights on my laptop which is running windows 7.
I would appreciate any help with this.
2While it is certainly possible, if this is a work computer, they likely have it open for IT reasons. For example, I push out updates every day, and they go on the ADMIN$ share, and get launched from there. I'd recommend talking to your manager or IT staff first. – Canadian Luke – 2015-12-17T22:36:46.920
2Most workplaces state that employees have no expectation of privacy (and certainly no self-declared liberties) in policy and employee training. Be careful how much privilege you assert. Also, be aware, in most work networks, admin staff can easily reenable admin shares on every boot, with group policies. – Frank Thomas – 2015-12-17T23:35:03.857
