Hi, not a major problem but if I try to 'manage' any of our windows 2007 workstations from our 2008 Standard servers via Active Directory Users and Computers, although I can connect and see the event logs, if I try to look at Disk Management I get 'RPC server unavailable'.

If I turn off the Windows Firewall on the server it works and if I turn it on but 'allow' (rather than the default 'block') all inbound traffic it works. The Firewall logs don't tell me anything being blocked so I am unsure about what inbound rule is meant to be enabled that isn't already?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dan
