SCCM 2007 R2, trying to use remote tools to connect to our Windows 7 client pcs, but I continue to get "Unable to contact host". Not sure where to start looking here.... (The remote desktop client option does work, but we really need the remote tools.) I have configured the Remote Tools client agent. Thx

client firewall? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694088.aspx In order to use the remote tools features of Configuration Manager 2007, you need to allow the following ports: TCP port 2701 TCP port 2702 TCP port 135 tesgroup

How about using Remote Assistance? That can also be configured from ConfigMgr.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

Can you use rc.exe and try to connect to this machine using the IP Address and see whether it is working or not. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb681027.aspx Regards, Madan
