Can't change Service settings remotely

[JBruyet]

Hey all, now that we've gone to Windows 7 I've found a huge annoyance -- I can't change any Service settings remotely. For example, I need to add a server IP to the "Accept SNMP packets from these hosts" address list for SNMP Service Properties to a bunch of workstations. With XP I was able to right-click on My Computer and click Manage. Then I could right-click on Computer Management, enter a computer name and make my configuration changes. Now I can get to where I need to make the change but when I try to actually make the change I get:

Failed to read a Registry key. This may be due to a lack of resources. Try closing other Windows applications to fix the problem.

Even if both computers have nothing open I still can't make the change. I tried Googling this but nothing even close shows up in the results. Anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks,

Joe B

Right click >> Run As Administrator problem?

Oh, I thought that might be it so I logged in to my computer as Administrator and then tried my process but I'm still getting the same error. I checked my process again looking for any "Run As Administrator" check boxes but I didn't find any.

Thanks,

Do you have admin rights on the remote computers? For instance, network admin rights?

Yes, I have admin rights on the computers. I even tried it using the Domain Admin account but no joy.

I'll even take any guesses for something that might help. It's just snmp for now but who knows what else may pop up down the road.

Thanks,
