Thanks Matt & Rob for your responses but still no dice. The Reg keys for
current user are already blank and I have confirmed there is no existing
connection to the remote.

I feel the leading clue here is that this only happens on these three
machines. I can log onto any other workstation and use remote admin without
a hitch. Again, I can see the configurations of other machines I just cannot
do changes, primarily manipulate a users permissions or group membership.

Any other thoughts are most welcome.

I Can't solve this !

I have three Dell Precision workstations that came pre-installed with W2k -
SP3. With only these three workstations, I cannot administer other computers
remotely. I can connect to other systems with Computer Administration and
can see everything but when I attempt changes I get the error message that -
"I am logged into a account that does not have access to 'computer name'. "
and am presented with a dialog for a logon.

I then attempt to logon with a known admin logon, (works fine on any other
system) and get - "Cannot display objects from this location because of the
following error: The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of
credentials. "

It is only a problem on these three systems and since I have inherited one,
I have to fix this. I have installed SP4 and applied every MS patch
available. I have checked any system setting I can find to no avail. Drive
maps or lack of make no difference. Trying different logons including the
actual administrators account do not work.

Desperate for help,

Doug
