I think I have a very basic question but I cant work out the answer. I'm running a win2000 server with win XP workstations. I can do almost everything I want with the network except access the worstations from the server. Everything else works just great. I just keep getting an error message telling me I have not been granted permision to access this machine. I'm logged on as Domain Admin so how much more access can I possible have???

have you tried connecting to another computer via the computer management mmc? and if so do you get the same message?

You need to confirm two things: (1) that the workstations are properly joined to the domain; and (2) that the Domain Admins security group has been added to the local workstation Administrators group. The latter is probably causing your problem - the Domain Admins group has to be in the local Administrators group in order for you to have administrative access to the workstations.

Hope this helps!
