RPC Server is unavailable? XP

[seanarmenta@ade]

hello

i was trying to run the Windows Disk Manager under Control
Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Storage>Disk Management.


when i click on Disk Management, the message: RPC Server is Unavailable
appears. it also says Unable to connect to Logical Disk Manager Service
in the bottom toolbar.

i checked my services, and Local Disk Manager is started.

in addition, i also can't get Disk Defragmenter to work...

any solutions?

I got the same problem. It must be something related to remote
administration. I turned off a few services (Terminal Server, Remote Desktop
and so on) in an attempt to enhance security. I don't use them, so why should
I keep them active? As a result, Windows Firewall tells me to add
"dmremote.exe" to the exceptions list. Local and remote disk management
should be different features, in my opinion.
