AntonioCS Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hey! I am really trying to get this to work.I have followed the steps shown here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h976cd1t(VS.85).aspxI am really having a hard time with the step 2, "Add yourself to the remote machine's Local Administrators group."I tried to do this. I added my user name on machine A to the Local Administrators group on machine B.But every time I try to run the example It just doesn't work, saying the the remote machine doesn't exist or is unavailable.I also tried this step here: http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48465with no success.In the "Local Administrators group" I just add the same user name I have in machine A to machine B right? Or am I confusing something??I followed the steps shown here -> www.globalimaginginc.com/resources/docs/AddingLocalAdministrator.docIn the select users dialog I can never get another computer just the local machine. Is that were I am going wrong??Please!! Someone help me out here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
