Hi, I do run as compmgmt as domain administrator to manage user local account & admin rights remotely. I get connected to the system but get Access Denied error. The same work with other domain administrator accounts. I have a same issue on RC tool also... Please help !!! Thank You With Regards Dev

Hi, Would you like to run Computer Management on the local machine or on a remote machine? At this stage, I suggest you open ADUC on the domain and open Properties of the problematic domain administrator, and then compare to other domain administrators. Can you see any different group between them? If so, please modify it. If the issue persists, please create a brand new domain administrator and run Computer Management to check the result.

Hi, Based on my research, this issue can occur if there are GPOs applied to your computer (that might also prevent the console from working). Please remove that policy and check the DCOM settings. Also, please try the following command: Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“remote administration” new enable=yes Managing a Server Core installation: Overview http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee441255(WS.10).aspx Thanks.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hello, I am running an SBS 2008 server and Windows 7/XP clients. I cannot provide remote assistance or perform remote computer management on any of the Windows 7 clients. There are many GPO's predefined in SBS by default. Could you point to the specific GPO settings that need to be modified to allow remote assisstance and remote computer management on Windows 7 clients? Thanks. P.S. Remote Assistance and remote computer management both work on the Windows XP clients.
