I have a SMS 2.0 SP4 environment running on Windows 2000 Advanced Servers. I am trying to connect to the primary site server via MMC Admin Console on a Windows 2000 Pro SP2 machine. It installs fine however when it tries to connect to the site server it immediatelly fails.

I have tried:
Reinstalling the console

WBEMSDK.EXE /SERVER (on both server and Wks)

Enabled Distributed COM on both Server and Wks

Added direct security rights for my Domain account through wmimgmt.msc. (I log into the same domain as the Primary site Server

All of the above came from KB's:

CHECK YOUR SHARES ON BOTH MACHINE FOR IPC$ ,ALSO ARE YOU SIGNING ON AS ADMINISTRATOR TO ACCESS THE PRIMARY SERVER??

I think I found the answer it's the fact that the server was missing a reg key that is supposed to enable Dcom. I made that change and it started working. Thanks for the input though!!
