Guest Adrian Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I am trying to remotely control a Windows XP (SP2) using Terminal Services Manager from a Windows 2003 server. Although I can see the PC in Terminal Services Manager I get a message saying 'You could not be authentificated on this server'. I have changed the DWord for TSAdvertise and TSEnabled to 1, switched off the firewall and added myself to the local group of Remote Users. I can connect to it using the RDP client. We have 3 other XP machines that we can connect to via the Terminal Services Manager with no problem. Any advice most welcome. Adrian

Guest Soo Kuan Teo [MSFT] Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: Unable to connect to XP PC using Terminal Services Manager You need to add your user account to XP's local administrators group to be able to connect remotely with Terminal Services Manager (TSAdmin.exe). Also, on the XP machine, please verify: 1. registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\AllowRemoteRPC is set to 1. A reboot maybe required if you change this setting. 2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyTSConnections is set to 0. 3. 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" On the machine that runs tsadmin.exe, 1 Make sure key manager does not contain the XP machines name, goto Control panel->Stored User Names and Passwords. (Alternate way to access this is with cmdkey.exe command line) Thanks Soo Kuan -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
