Windows NT unable to Remote Control to WinXP from Windows 2003 Domain Control

[duckinpv]

Our workstations are running Windows XP.
They are part of a Windows 2003 Domain.
In the Remote Control tab of Properties for "My Computer", the settings are:
- Enable Remote Control
- Not reuqire user's permission
- Level of Control = interact with the session

From a Windows 2003 Domain Controller, I opened Terminal Service Manager,
click Actions | Connect to Computer. it gives me the message "Server was not
found". I thought I used to be able to do this over a year ago. Not sure
what I changed so now I no longer can connect to remotely control the XP
workstations. Please help. Thanks!



I enter the IP address of an XP Workstation to try to Remote Control it, but
it gives me the message

You have to do this from within a TS session. Shadowing doesn't
work from the console of the server.

Can you please explain how to do this from a TS session? Not sure how to get
to a TS session. Terminal Services was installed in Administration Mode.
Does it need to be in Application Mode?

OK, sorry, I thought you wanted to shadow another rdp session.
Let's try this one instead

From
http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_administration.htm#XPSP2remote

Q: How can I Remote Control my Windows XP SP2 client from within
Terminal Services Manager?

A: ServicePack 2 disabled this feature. You can enable it again by
creating the following registry entry on the XP client:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
"AllowRemoteRPC" = REG_DWORD:1

Also make sure that the Windows firewall on the client is
configured to allow File and Print sharing, as well as Remote
Desktop.
