The behavior here has always been somewhat unpredictable.  Some have luck
getting this to work post-XP, some don't.  Some, like you, sometimes have
luck.  It's not clear why.  But it is clear that MS changed the behavior
in Vista and beyond for security reasons.  They are trying to make this
difficult if not impossible to do.  As Corinna mentioned, getting an
Windows authenticated token for the user running the server may help.
Or not. ;-)
