Re: command prompt: 'tasklist' logon failure

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Ramesh.

I tried PsList and it does run fine (thanks for pointing me there,
those tools look very helpful).

Latest status: (ProblemMachine= system with tasklist error,
RemoteMachine=a system without tasklist errors)

On problemMachine accessing remote machine:
c:\tasklist /S remotemachine
works fine, demonstrating tasklist does work.

On remote machine

Runnig tasklist /S ProblemMachine produces this:

"ERROR: The remote system must be running Windows 2000 or above"

and
tasklist on the problem machine produces:
"ERROR: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."

I also turned on all of the audit features and this event is in the
security log.
