Problem accessing doamin controller properties over network

[Bimmer]

I wrote a small program to read OS version, site name, IP address,
CurrentTime, etc of a domain controller remotely. The program works when it
runs on the DC but it gives an access violation error when it's run from a XP
workstation. In both cases, the account used to run the program is the domain
administrator. What right do I need to run this program remotely?
thanks

Hello Bimmer,

As a first try check the user rights assignments "Logon as a batch job" and
maybe "Backup files and directories" "Manage auditing and security log"

Best regards

Are you using WMI? If so, do you specify impersonationLevel and
authenticationLevel?

Thanks for the all replies... I'm using C# and
system.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory namespace to query the domain
controller. I've already gave the user (Administrator) to "Logon as a batch
job", "Access this computer from network", "Backup files and directories",
etc but I'm still getting the same error message when I run the program over
the network.
thanks
