Shadwo no longer work with WixXP SP2

[Camacho, Christian]

Hello!!

We do remote control to our WinXP SP1 computers shadowing the console
session with the following command:
shadow 0 /server:hostip (from a remote desktop session)

We no longer can remote control computers with WinXP SP2 installed, we get
an "acces denied" error.

Any idea?

Regards,
Christian

We do remote control to our WinXP SP1 computers shadowing the console

We no longer can remote control computers with WinXP SP2 installed,
we get an "acces denied" error.

First - I did not know you could shadow remote local sessions on Windows XP
at all.
Second - have you configured the "automatically on" firewall appropriately
to allow such traffic?

Hi Shenan,

Yes that's possible (see references below).
I don't know the "automatically on" feature in the firewall. How do I set
it? (I manually disabled the firewall from the panel control to discard this
kind of issues).

Christian

You need to enable the Remote Desktop exception in the Windows
Firewall...

Hi Jeffrey,

Yes, we did enable that exception (TCP 3389 port), we also disabled the
firewall.

We can connect to the computer using remote desktop client, but we no longer
connect to the same computer using the shadow command (from a remote desktop
session in a different computer).

Christian

OK... Lets try a test...

Are you able to get to the Computer Management console of the remote
computer (by running compmgmt.msc and then select the Connect To
Remote Computer option)? I have found that you will not be able to
use the shadow functionality if you can't connect to the Computer
Management console...

Hi,

The solution is to add a value in the registry:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Value Name: AllowRemoteRPC
Value Type: DWORD Value
Value Data: 1
