I have added a new computer to the Sever Explorer. I used a user account that belongs to the Administrators group of the remote computer. My computer uses Windows 7 and the remote computer uses Windows XP. The user account does not have a password set. The problem is that I cannot access to any of the subnodes of the remote computer node of Sever Explorer. For example, when trying to expand 'Services', the following error is shown: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'servername'. This operation might require other privileges. Access is denied What should I do to have the required privileges?

use sc.exe \\server to check if you have the permission.
