qwinsta problem

[Guest Ken Knight]

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
