Disk Mgmt probably isn’t going to work remotely on newer versions of Windows. Otherwise, what you seem to be missing is RPC connectivity, but getting SMB (CIFS) connectivity.
The best place to start is to log on to the Core server and type “sconfig”. If you haven’t seen sconfig, it’s a utility for doing lots of management on Server Core. (I see that on Windows 2012 it even exists in the GUI version.) There you will be able to enable Remote Management, which may include RPC. *From:* [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *J- P *Sent:* Wednesday, September 7, 2016 9:12 PM *To:* NT <[email protected]> *Subject:* [NTSysADM] remote mgmnt of core Hi all, As I stated in previous this is my first full go at core 2012r2, one of the main issues I am getting is when I try to remote manage one, It will throw an error that it is not available, however, I can see things like USERS and GROUPS, Shares, Services, but other things such as Disk management, Event viewer, tell me that its unavailable please make sure the computer in online (which obviously it is as I can see other things) I speculate that certain "services or features are missing from core?" that I need to add perhaps? Any feedback is appreciated. TIA
