Hi again!
I have discovered that it is relatdto this known issue:
Remote users may receive an "Access Denied" message on a
share to which they have previously connected to
successfully after the hard disk is converted to NTFS.
This behavior occurs on Windows XP-based computers that
have Simple File Sharing enabled that were upgraded from
Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Me, and
occurs because the default permissions of a hard disk
that is converted to NTFS does not contain the Everyone
group, which is required for remote users that are using
the Guest account to access the files. To correct this
behavior, unshare and reshare the affected folders. The
permissions are reset and users can connect again.
which comes from the Knowledge base article 304040
I have done the above and now it all works, the only
problem now is that i have about 70-80 computers spread
outover the country i have to do it on and im wondering
if there is a way to automate the procedure?
thanks

There is no need to add yourself as the a helper of the remote PC because
your user account is not used as the helper. Can you tell us if the
HelpAssistant account is existent in the remote machine?

When i try to use "Offer Remote Assistance" i get the
message "Permission Denied" even though i have added my
username as a helper on the remote PC. Also when i try to
do the same on another computer on the same network,
there is no problem.
I got the tip to run the command
sessmgr -service
but that did not help.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks
