Re: Remote Assistance - Permissions Denied



Hello,

Thank you for posting here. Also thanks for Holz's input.

According to your description, I understand that:

In the SBS domain, you cannot connect to some specific Windows XP client
computers by remote assistance.

If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

As the issue happens on these specific client computers, there should have
some settings that prevent remote assistance from being connected. You may
follow the steps below to check:

Suggestion 1:
=============
Please make sure that DCOM is enabled on the problematic computers. To
verify that:

1. On the problematic computer, run Dcomcnfg.exe in the command prompt.
2. Click the Component Services node under Console Root.
3. Open the Computers folder.
4. For the local computer, right-click My Computer, and then click
Properties.
5. Click the Default Properties tab.
6. Click to select (or click to clear) the Enable Distributed COM on this
Computer check box.
7. If you want to set more properties for the computer, click Apply to
enable (or disable) DCOM. Otherwise, click OK to apply the changes and quit
Dcomcnfg.exe.
8. Restart the operating system for the changes to take effect.

Suggestion 2:
=============
Verify the Expert Is Part of the Helper's Group on the Novice's Computer
and turn Off Simple File Sharing on the problematic client computer
