I installed the W2k Support Tools on my W2k professional Machine. When I run NETDIAG from the command prompt I get the error message[ Fatal failed to get system information of this machine. Could anybody tell me what is causing this? Thanks Ken

Technet Article ID: Q287735 says that Netdiag will fail like this when the Remote Registry service is not started. The fix is to start Remote Registry service.
