Help Request: "The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" and &q

[ITGuy]

Hello Lansweeper Developers :-),
Hi. First let me say that the Lansweeper application has really impressed me -- the demo page looks awesome and I think it stands above the various other software / hardware inventorying applications out there. The only drawback is that it is killer to set up (or maybe it is just me :w) ). I can get the web interface displays the client name, but the only values in the web console are only errors that read, "The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" and "The network path was not found." I have been trying to fix this for two days with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here is my configuration, and thank-you in advance.

Sincerely,
Kenneth

When I run the Lswinap.exe file (while making sure that the lsservice service is off), I can see the status field change from "Idle" to "LOGON updated (0.0625)" in the Lansweeper Server screen. The Computer Name appears in the Lansweeper Console, but the only thing that appears are Extra -> Errors. So I turn on the service so that I can focus on the client. My server is in a workgroup. I have been trying to get this to work by running lsclient on another workstation. Then, for troubleshooting purposes, I tried to run both the service and client on the same server. I still end up with the same error.

Extra -> Errors: _______________________________

Actually, there is only one developer : me 🙂

This problem is caused by the pc's scanned being inaccessible, this is mostly caused by windows XP SP2 firewall.
You need to allow remote management for the windows xp firewall (or switch it off :))
