Remote Disk Mgmt

Okason

I am trying to acess disk management in another computer in my home network withous success. 2 of the computers are XP Home and one is XP Pro all with SP 2.They can ping each other and I can acces shared folders in any of them, In computer management I can connect to another macchine but when I click Disk Managment it says "You do not have access rights to logical disk manager on (computer-name)" I have started any service that begins with remote like RPC,Remote Access Connection etc, I have edited windows firewall rule/exceptions following this MS KB http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=902430 , I have even disabled Windows firewall and also edit the rules for my Dlink router/firewall. I have created the same user with full rights in all the machine and add that user account to the Remote users group in the XP Pro still I cannot access disk magmt remotely. what am I not doing right or what do I need to do?

Thanks

Hi,

Have you added the user account to each local machines 'Administrators' group?

Yes the user account is a members of admin group in all the machines.

Do they both have a password and are they the same password?

Opps, sorry, I skimmed your post. For one I don't believe you can connect to a computer running XP Home, but I'm not positive. Also, that article you have is for connecting XP Pro to Server 2003.

EDIT: I checked and Home doesn't have the Logical Disk Manager service, so you can't connect to it.

Thanks for the info.
