|
|
Hi Everyone,
I recently pushed a GPO so that it would enable Remote Assistance on all
workstations in my Domain (right now I added the GPO to my "test" OU with two
computers Novice and Expert).
When I attempt to send a Remote Assistance request I get the following
message:
The remote server machine does not exist or unavailable.
I followed the steps as outlined in this support doc:
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=301527
Could you please provide me with assistance?
Thank you,
D |

I am not sure I understand the issue. But let me try these:
1. The article describes how to configure a computer that is running Windows
XP or Windows Server 2003 to receive Remote Assistance offers, but not send
a Remote Assistance request.
2. If you are trying to offer Remote Assistance and you get the message "The
remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable", I would check the
firewall settings first. You may want to add these Exceptions to the Windows
Firewall configuration (Start, Control Panel, Windows Firewall, Exceptions):
1. Programs
a. %systemroot%\system32\sessmgr.exe
b. %systemroot%\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Binaries\helpsvc.exe
2. TCP 135
or this link may help. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555179

Hi Robert,
I confirmed that the port 135 (TCP) is open and the two programs are
exceptions in the Windows Firewall. Do you have any additional suggestions?
Thank you,

Hi Robert,
The issue was resolved by adding port 135. The GPO I created to add Port
135 wasn't working properly.
Unfortunately I have encountered a new issue (under thread- "A program could
not start"). I would appreciate your help on this new issue.
Thank you for your help.
