Well, I found out a big clue. &nbsp;I had a VPN tunnel active to my office. &nbsp;I disconnected from my office, and I am able to do this now. &nbsp;I wonder why.

Active Directory, accessing other computers Problem

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
