VPN Clients have Local Admin Access

I have a VPN setup on my company server and it seems to be working, except that any client that logs in suddenly has Local admin access to my Server. They can \\server\c$ and everything. I would much rather they had access according to their local account they used to login. Did I miss something in the VPN setup? or is this normal? IS there a way to give them access acording to their local accounts?

The server is windows 2003 and the client is XP. I used the wizard to setup the vpn. Please help. Thanks
 
Don't know the Win2k3 VPN setup but from what you wrote it would seem to be a permissions issue on the share in question. Look at what groups your users belong to on the server you set them up on and then compare that to the rights afforded to the \\server\c$ share.

Gook Luck.
 
My guess is that he is running a Domain.

No I'm not running a domain.

It doesn't matter what I change the permission to, because somehow the account is access the chare as the local administrator. If you check the session, the login name is adminx (the local admin account name).
 
If it possible to setup and have the VPN server run off of a lower level user login instead of admin?
