Cannot remotely execute project in debug

[Ken Allen]

I have a service that was developed in C# that I wish to debug. The
project resides on my desktop system and I wish it to execute on a
remote test system (actually on the next desk).

When I confifure the project for remote debugging of the project I get
the following alert: "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start
debugging. Access is denied."

This worked fine in the past when the test machine was Windows 2000, but
now that my test system is running Windows 2003 I cannot seem to perform
the same remote debugging. I have set the .Net zone security to full
trust, but otherwise I have made no special configuration settings on
the test system. On the desktop (development) system I am set to project
debug, remote debugging true and the proper name of the test system has
been entered; I have also specified the command line value of
"-ConsoleMode", which instructs my 'service' to execute as a console
application, which it does fine if I invoke it from a command line on
either system.

Is there something I have missed that should be added? Should I not be
able to do this?

Does no one have any idea what can be causing this, or what tools could
be used to determine the cause of the problem?

I have just gone back over all of the options that were specified, and
they match the information from the MSDN pages.

1. I have ensured that my account is a member of the debugger group.
2. I copied the binaries from my development system to the test system.
3. I configured the project properties as specified.
4. To test, I can run the service in console mode from a command prompt
on the test system.

But when I attempt to initiate a remote debug from the development
system I constantly get an error "Unable to start debugging. Access is
denied."

Argh!
