hi guys.
deployed lansweeper today. very impressed with what it can do, but having an issues with 3 machines
27 machines have registered so far (out of about 60, expect the rest to come on tomorrow since I missed 9am when most people log on)
3 XP machines are failing to scan. All with
Wmierror The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA) GEORGECOULTER (georgecoulter.domain.co.uk) \root\default
The firewall policy is set to allow remote access, but I have even disabled the firewall completely.
If I run connectiontest locally on the problem client it reports success (127.0.0.1 or the assigned IP)
LS client connects the lansweeper server and reports sucess
when I try connectiontest remotely it fails.
I have tried various scripts to repair the WMI service, none seem to have worked.
Windows management instrumentation and RPC services are running and set to auto
dns to the lansweeper server seems to resolve fine.
All of these are on
