Hi,
I am unable to connect to a Windows XP with SP2 client to run a
Resultant Set of Policies from Group Policy Management Console.
I am aware that the Windows Firewall automatically blocks port 135
(and any other port for that matter), so I have switched off the
firewall in my Default Domain Policy. It also appears as such on the
Windows XP machine (greyed out and switched to Off).
Still, when I run RSoP from the GPMC, I get an error stating "The RPC
server is unavailable." When I do the same to a non-SP2 machine, I
have no problems.
How can this still happen even if they Windows Firewall is switched
off?
I even tried to use an exception on port 135 and the program
unsecapp.exe. And I have tried switching on the "Allow remote
administration" exception. Both did not make any difference. They show
up in the Exceptions tab on the computer, but I am still unable to
make a connection.
I'm pretty much stuck with this one, so if anyone has an idea about
this one, please let me know.
Cheers, Dela.
