and entering
secpol.msc
. Open the
Local Policies
node and
select
Security Options

Network
access: Sharing and security model for local accounts
. If this is set to
Guest only

Classic
and restart the computer.

group connect using the WMI namespace, the user might need to change
the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy as needed.
