Re: Why can't I remote-manage this *one* workstation?

In article <u3VEvxUjFHA.2444@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, newsg@xxxxxxxxxxxx
says...

Yup.

And this just gets weirder and weirder. I can connect to and manage the
workstation remotely from another workstation, using my regular user
account (which has limited administrator privileges on the domain...) -
but I can't do it from one of the domain controllers or member servers
logged in as the domain administrator account.

For example, if I go to Network Places on my user account and put
"\\workstation" in the address bar, it cheerfully shows me the shares on
workstation. But if I try this from one of the DCs, as Administrator,
it screeches, "\\workstation is not accessible. You might not have
permission...blah, blah."

....followed by the Kafka-esque, all-too-Microsoftian admonition to
"contact the administrator of this server" - *which I am logged in
as*!!!!
