I've got an office full of XP machines, and I'm trying to
set up one to manage the others remotely via MMC snap-ins.
All the machines have the same Administrator password.
The network is setup as a workgroup only, not as a domain.
I added the Computer Management snap-in for each machine,
and all but 3 machines fail with "Access denied" messages.
Auditing reveals those that are failing think I am
connecting as Guest, and those 3 that work correctly show
I'm connecting as Administrator.
Each machine should be identical, with the same services
running. I double checked one successful machine and one
failing machine and verified the same services are running
and the Administrator is in the Administrators group. I am
able to login via Remote Desktop and run the snap-in
locally as Administrator.
What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.
