qwinsta problem

Hi all,

I've spent many many hours today searching for a resolution to the dreaded;

Error [5]: Access denied

When I try to using the command;

qwinsta /server:Myserver

The layout is I am issuing this command FROM a Win2k3 server (which is
the domain controller) TO an XP SP2 machine (which is a member of the
domain) that has an active RDP connection to it. I found the
AllowRemoteRPC registry entry and added that to the registry with a
DWORD value of 1.

Any suggestions on why this would not be working?

Thanks,
Ken
 
Re: qwinsta problem

What user account do you use to run qwinsta?
Do you see this error if you run qwinsta from another non-domain controller
machine?
on the XP SP2, machine, please make sure the following:
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\fDenyTSConnections is set to 0.
2. Disable "Force Guest" logon. goto to local security pololicy
(secpol.msc)->Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options->Network
access: Sharing and security model for local accounts, set to "Classic"

Thanks
Soo Kuan

Thanks so much for the reply. It did turn out to be that the machine
needed to be rebooted. Once that was done everything worked as
expected. The big issue was I would not be able to reboot the system
until the early hours of the morning.

Thanks,
Ken
