Hi,<br />
<br />
Is everyone using the DC for DNS?

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I have setup a small lab using VMWare workstation to learn Windows Server 2008. &nbsp;At this point, my lab consists of one domain controller (DC-1) running Server Core and one member server (Server1) running Server 2008 Enterprise. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm in Reliablity and Performance Monitor on Server1. &nbsp;I'm trying to configure Server1 to remotely monitor DC-1 using the Reliablity Monitor. &nbsp;When I try to connect to DC-1, I get a message stating &quot;The RPC server is unavailable&quot;.<br />
<br />
I can ping DC-1 from Server1 by name and address.<br />
<br />
I have run the following command on DC-1, which should enable me to use MMC to administer that server:<br />
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group = &quot;Remote Administration&quot; new enable = yes<br />
<br />
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
