Re: Win32 The RPC server is unavailable

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

Thanks again for the assistance.
I don't believe it is a firewall rule because the subnet I am using belong
to a group of engineers including my self and we have a firewall rule that
opens our subnet to all of our server on any port.
I can ping by netbios name and by FQDN.
I have also used telnet to check the port the software is using on a couple
of the machines giving me problems. The port being used are 135-139 and 445.
Even if the app needs a different port it should already be open.
Thank Again

I ran nslook up result below. Then I tried wbemtest and received the
WIN32 RPC server unavailable error. What should I try next I am
sorry but I am still confussed.

U:\>nslookup hfsoh121-0375.chfs.ds.ky.gov

*** Can't find server name for address 172.26.23.11: Non-existent

Server: UnKnown
Address: 172.26.23.9

Name: hfsoh121-0375.chfs.ds.ky.gov
Address: 172.26.21.84


The message saying:
*** Can't find server name for address 172.26.23.9: Non-existent domain
*** Can't find server name for address 172.26.23.11: Non-existent domain

Is just telling you that there is no reverse entry for those two IP
addresses. In other words, there may be no reverse zone, or if there is,
there is no entry for these two DNS servers in the organization's reverse
zone for 172.26.x.x. That is something you will need to discuss with your
network administrators.

At the same token, it wouldn't have anything to do with your WBEM test
failures.

I think it's a firewall rule blocking something or the machine that WBEM is
tryhing to get to has no DNS forward look up entry.

What machine is the WBEM test trying to communicate with? Can you ping the
machine by it's NetBIOS name and by it's FQDN?
