New Local Administrator Account Access to Domain Network Shared Files Prompt Issue
By default, all workstations Windows 7 default "Administrator" Local Account are now disable - not the Administration Group. A new and high secured Local Administrator on all workstations is created. The issue we are having is the New Administrator Account trying to access any domain network shared directory on several file servers are not allowing any workstations to access them. The Windows 7 Default Administrator account always gave a domain username/password prompt that a domain user needs to sign in as to access the file server information. We were not expecting a new local administrator account to disable this functionality. What is causing this to not work and the solution to enabling any new local administrator account to get the domain prompt to gain access to the network file system.

Okay, figured this out, the local workstation administrator account were the same as the server administrator account. Because both local account were the same for both type of machines the prompt for domain account was given. Any new administrator account will at default prevent access to any network shares on the domain.
