I think it would be fairly easy and valuable to add the ability to check for a share name on a client and make a user-defined config group out of it.

Yes, it is easy in fact! Try creating a user-defined configuration group with the following ruleset (this looks for a share called "downloads":

EXISTS <Registry Value> "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanserver\Shares\\downloads"

I wish it were that simple, the problem is I want to look for admin shares such as C$,ADMIN$, etc.. Any ideas?

Administrative (hidden) shares should exist unless the computer has been configured to not create/recreate them at startup. Here's a link to Microsoft KB article discussing issues that can occur if administrative shares are disabled: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842715/en-us.

You can create a configuration group to find out which workstation computers have administrative shares enabled:

NOT EXISTS <Registry Value> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters\\AutoShareWks" OR <Registry Value> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters\\AutoShareWks" = "1"

Here's the same rule, only for servers:

NOT EXISTS <Registry Value> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters\\AutoShareServer" OR <Registry Value> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters\\AutoShareServer" = "1"

Hopefully this gives you the information you need.
