Using Computer Management for remote pc's
I have been connecting to remote pc's in our domain via computer management. I sometimes have to add their user accounts to the local admin groups and have found it easy to do it this way.
Since upgarding there pc's to XP sp2 i can still connect to there pc's via computer management (after a firewall tweak) but when i try and access the snap-ins like 'Users and Groups' or 'services' it says ACCESS DENIED.
I can still connect and use the snap-ins on the old win 2k pc's with no problem. What could be set on the XP machines that is stopping my access. I am a network Administrator and should have access everywhere.

by network administrator do you mean domain admin rights?
can you access the hard drive by \\compname\c$?
can you remote desktop via the computer name/ip address
this is a long shot but do you use security groups in the local admins of the machine that give certain people admin rights like PC-Support for example. If you have basic user rights you could still access the machine via a snap in but couldnt make any changes, hence my group question.
by firewall tweak i take it you put file and printer sharing in the exceptions

the firewall is set to block remote administration tools by default - we edit our group policy within AD to allow certain sub-nets (the admin one) access to remote admin.

ok strange as this may seem it appears to be a DNS problem. In DNS i have multiple entries for pc's and some ip addresses that machines have, in DNS they are linked to our server. Any idea why DNS is doing this.
