Well, I got my shares problem figured out. I am glad. However, now, I need to do remote installs of my norton antivirus. I can't do it from my machine without being an administrator on these machines. I am not an administrator when logged in as anything. I even set up a account for root, with no success. How do you make a user a domain administrator?

I have been searching for some documentation that would indicate if Asterisk supports H.248 and everything I have come across seems to indicate I should use MGCP which I would agree is a better choice but unfortunately the equipment I am trying to integrate only does H.248.
