Remote Tools not working

Question

Hi!

Getting further along the way of using SCCM thanks to the awesome community here.

I have another question tho..

 

I have sccm up and running, with about 800 clients registrered.

What I'm trying to do, is remote control their computer (pref Remote Tools, due to shared controls?).

 

I've read the remote tools documentation for firewall configuration, and set the rules.

When trying to connect, I first get prompted for auth, and that's ok - but when it's trying to connect it just prompts an error message:

connection failed 0x80004005

 

This should how ever work, since the computer is in the network, I can ping it, and I can browse it's shared folders..

 

I'm thinking there still is a firewall issue somewhere..

What do you think?

Its easier when you know what the codes mean:

 

0x80004005= Access Denied.

 

I would check the user permissions and then i would check the logfile called "RemoteControl.log" located here: "\\<COMPUTERNAME>\c$\WINDOWS\system32\CCM\Logs" for clues.

are you seeing an UAC prompt on the windows 7 client when you attempt to remote to it ?, as wmmayms says, 80004005 is access denied..

I found the CCM folder within Windows\SysWOW64\

Is that a bad thing?

 

I get prompted for auth as I connect, due to my user not having any special rights on our domain.

But when trying to connect with a domain admin account, it gives the error message.

 

Checking logs now.

 

Anyweb: No, the user don't see anything. Not the box allowing/not allowing remote control, or any UAC prompt.

Check if your firewall is disabled or not ? also Did you check,if you have enabled "ask for permission" under site hirarchy-->client agents-->remote control client agents settings ? from the line"Agent did not receive a valid connection attempt within the time limit. Session will be terminated "

Firewall is not disabled.

But configured with open ports for remote tools (found some sort of microsoft documentation on this).

 

I was on the phone with the user I was trying to control.

He said nothing popped up, as in no way of accepting the remote tools session.

And no UAC prompt.

 

I've got everything enabled with full control on the General tab.

 

Security tab:

Lists the user account I tried with.

 

Notifications tab:

Display a visual indicator = On, show status icon on taskbar.

Play a sound = Off

 

Remote assistance tab:

Both top checkboxes.

Full Control.

 

Remote desktop client settings:

Not checked.

Just tried accessing a computer locally on the network, this works fine (This just started working today for some reason..)

It even started with out prompting me for auth?

 

So I guess it's a firewall issue between our sites.

But it's kinda wierd for it to prompt the 0x80004005 = Access Denied, when it's most likely a firewall issue?

 

 

I'll have to recheck the firewall policy again.
