How do you enable remote administration in Windows 2000 Professional. I am attempting to connect to W2KPro wks with remote registry.

I am trying to attach to a W2K Pro workstation using regedit and network connection. Whenever I attempt to connect to this machine via remote connection, regedit gives me the following error.

Please verify that Remote Administration is Enabled

and

Please verify that Remote Registry Service is Started.

Can someone tell me how to do both of these?

Thanks

This is not exactly what you are asking for but is the only remote support that I now use. Free to try and very cheap to buy.

allows you to push vnc to any pc on the network. Has alot of cool tools to like allows you to reboot a pc in safe mode and still connect remotely.

Thanks. I will try the services.msc snap-in. This will probably do the trick. The reason I need this is because I have setup a Microsoft SUS server to download updates to all my machines. Before this can be done, each machine has to have the registry changed. A fried of mine gave me this slick little program that pushes the registry changes to the workstations and then they are set to get their updates from my local SUS server. Again, thanks for your help. I will let you know if this did the trick.

Thanks

Thats cool!!!!

I currently have one NT 4 Domain Controller and 1 Windows 2000 Domain Controller. I plan on updating both of them to Windows 2003 very soon. I will definately make use of this GPO in the future.

Thanks
