Subject: Re: Can't Connect to Remote PC with Event Viewer--SOLVED
Thanks for all the feedback. What ended up fixing it, was to start the
remote registry service on the target server.
For anyone who cares to know how I discovered this was to use Netmon while I
tried to establish connection to the server with Event Viewer. 2 things
that stuck out were "NT Create & X, File = \winreg" and the reply was "NT
error, System, Error, Code = (52) STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND"..
I did a search at Microsoft for "create \winreg", and
"STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND", which is equivalent to a win32 error of..
Error file not found.. and the "winreg" search brought me to some
information about network access to the registry.. so 1 + 1 = Remote
Registry Service Not Started!
Thanks again for the feedback. This seems like a great list and I hope I'll
have some useful contributions in the future.
