[SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 5

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,
I am trying to run "sc \\remote_computer query" in the command prompt,
but always get "[SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 5".

The remote_computer is stand-alone (i.e. does not belong to a domain)
and I am accessing it from a user account not defined on it.

I have tried to fiddle with the security settings on remote_computer
but without success. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
Ari
