To do that operation, your username has to have permission on that
remote machine. Are you using a domain? Are you logged in as a domain
administrator?
This article talks about it, but since Windows security is a vast, dark,
confusing, twisted mess, I'm not sure you'll be able to make it work.

If you bring up the Event Viewer application ("eventvwr"), under Action,
there's a "Connect to Another Computer" option. Does that work for you?
