Cannot manage a remote computer

[drabun]

When you try to remotely manage a Windows 2000-based computer from another Windows 2000-based computer, you may receive the following error message:
Computer \\computername.domain.com cannot be managed. The network path was not found.
(The preceding is from MS Knowledge base. Their cause of error was that File and Print sharing was disabled on the remote computer and solution was to enable it. That doesn't apply because it is enabled by default(Win2K pro) so it's already enabled. The computers are joined to the domain and are listed in the Computers folder. I can access shared folders in the workgroup and the directory. I can log on as admin on a remote computer but cannot manage the server so I get the same error message both ways.)

If you are using Terminal service for managing try to
reinstall it and use 32-bit client software.Also be sure to select remote admin mode.You can do it by going to Add/Remove prg. on managed computer and after you click next win will ask you do you want to change mode.

You have to install adminpak.msi on the node which has professional running on it. Only after that will u be able to administer the ADS from the node.

By the way, is you intranet in a workgroup or a domain?
