The C$, ADMIN$, and IPC$ shares are not available.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager requires that the IPC$, ADMIN$, C$ shares are available on the client computer when deploying the Symantec Endpoint Protection software.

If the shares do not exist, create them manually.

To confirm and set up shares

1. At a command prompt on the client, type the following command:
   
   net share
    
2. If you do not see the ADMIN$, C$, and IPC$ shares listed, create them.
   Follow the directions for your version of Windows.
   • In Windows 7/8/10, at a command prompt, type the following commands:
     
     net share ADMIN$=C:\WINDOWS
     net share C$=C:\
     net share IPC$
      
   • In Windows 2008/2012/20216/2019, at a command prompt, type the following commands:
     
     net share ADMIN$=C:\WINNT
     net share C$=C:\
     net share IPC$
      
3. If you did not install Symantec Endpoint Protection on drive C, create a share for the drive on which Symantec Endpoint Protection is installed.
   For example, if Symantec Endpoint Protection is installed on drive D, at a command prompt, type the following command:
   
   net share D$=D:\
