Shehan,
I am already using this version of admin pak. I acn connect to XP SP1
machines just fine but when trying to go to any SP2 machine it says "server
not found."

Russ,

Please note the spelling of my name. =)

I would still uninstall and reinstall. Also, did you setup said machines so
that Terminal Services could be managed remotely?

For your Terminal Services Manager (Using it on a Remote Desktop) need,
enter the following in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

Add a value named: "AllowRemoteRPC"
Type: "REG_DWORD"
Value Data: "1"

Shouldn't require a reboot or anything, should just allow you to start using
Terminal Services Manager to manage the XP box in question (the one you just
added the regkey to.)

Hope that helps..

I tired your registry settings on both machines that were involved in the
connection and still could not get through. I compared the registry settings
from a W2K3 Server Box and found that this was enabled on the server. By
default this is set to deny on XP SP2. Once set to 0 I was able to connect
again to manage the Session and remote control remotely from any W2K3 SP1
adminpak capable machine.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
fDenyTSConnections
REG_DWORD
Value - 0
