Guest cchcc Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I'm trying to remotely connect and manage computers at our remote site using the mmc and I receive the following: "Computer \\computer-name cannot be managed. The network path was not found." I am, however, able to connect to the Win2K3 domain controller and manage it, just not the XPProSP2 workstations. I can ping the host names and IPs fine. We have a private MPLS site link with Cisco 1841 routers. Subnets are 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24. I have assigned subnets in ADSS. Any ideas? I'm also ready to deploy SMS for support -will this also be impacted? I currently do not have a WINS server, as all of our workstations and servers are Win2k3/XPProSP2. Any help is much appreciated.

Guest cchcc Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Re: Computer management across two subnets? Ok, I've resolved the issue -it was an XP firewall/localsubnet issue.
