FuzzyReets Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi folks. Trying out the software for network inventory purposes. I can't get the scan to work unless I remove the firewall from the client which isn't an option. I've done the following based on info in the FAQ but still receive "RPC Server Unavailable" when I scan. - add ports 135, 139, 445 - enable wmi in firewall - create gp change Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network Connections -> Windows Firewall -> Domain Profile or Standard Profile -> Windows Firewall: Allow remote administration exception -> Action -> Properties -> Enabl - run netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable Server is sever 2008 R2 and clients are Windows 7 Ultimate. Please advise. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Support Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Do you use domain group policy for firewall? Then you need to make these changes in that policy. Also run "gpupdate /force" on the clients to update the policy right now. Also try to enable "File and Printer Sharing" in the firewall, then go to "Options - Connection", select "Auto-deployed agent method (SMB)" and uncheck the option "Try another method if selected fails".

Support Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 That means open the "Options" window (either in main menu "File - Options" or just click "Options" on the main toolbar), and then open the "Connection" tab in the options window. There you will see the settings that I've mentioned. Quote Link to comment
