Windows 10 remote tools not working, mmc, psexec etc
I'm having a problems on the network
Some newer Windows 10 PC's (Win10 image from Dell), behave different, then older Dell PC's.
They have the same service pack's and hotfixes, its something in settings.
They don't accept remote administration tasks, such Manage PC by using an MMC to a remote \client
And neither do they accept Sysinternals remote tools like psexec etc.
I've noticed that those machines don't allow RPC connections.
Although those services run :
- RPC Endpoint Mapper
- DCOM Server Process Launcher
- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
And i made sure the rpc is allowed
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="RPC endpoint mapper" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=135
Any ideas of what this could be ?.
Solution 1:
It was indeed a firewall rule problem. And a problem in remote tooling, GLPI didnt work on some clients.
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="RPC endpoint mapper" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=135 profile=Domain,Private remoteip=172.16.1.0/16,LocalSubnet
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="File and Printer Sharing (NB-Datagram-In)" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=445 profile=Domain,Private remoteip=172.16.1.0/16,LocalSubnet
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="File and Printer Sharing (NB-Datagram-In)" new enable=yes profile=Domain,Private remoteip=172.16.1.0/16,LocalSubnet
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="ICMP Allow incoming V4 echo request" protocol=icmpv4:8,any dir=in action=allow
also at least those services should run
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
RPC Endpoint Mapper
DCOM Server Process Launcher
