I have a new installation of Windows Server 2008 R2. &nbsp;It is being used as a Domain Controller and a DNS server. &nbsp;Remote access was working a day ago in which I could remote into this server from a Windows client that was in the same Domain as the server. &nbsp;The next day when I tried to remote into this server exactly like I did yesterday, &nbsp;it would not allow me to remote in. &nbsp;In looking at the server Remote Access is enabled and set up even for less secure access. &nbsp;I then tried to run SERVICES.MSC and got the message &quot;MMC could not create the snap in. &nbsp;The snap in might not have installed correctly. &nbsp;Services CLSID:{58221C66-EA27-11CF-<wbr />ADCF-00AA0<wbr />0A80033}.<br />

Windows Server 2008 R2 will not open SERVICES.MSC and will not allow remote connections

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
