Seems I got ahead of myself. Opening TCP port 135 didn't make any
difference. Does any one know which ports WinMgmt uses? One of the problems
is that I am trying to lock down my DCs (NT4) using port filtering. I need
open ports for Winmgmt and Legato Networkr.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
