Win XP 64 bit: SMB error: target account is incorrect

[paterauw]

Running TNI on SBS2003 server.

 

When remotely scanning a Win XP 64 bit pc, getting the error:

Scan failed: SMB: Logon failure: The target account is incorrect

 

Net view \\pc and net use x: \\pc\c$ work fine.

Tested WMI using wbemtest.exe: OK

Tried credentials current user, administrator, domain\administrator.

Turned off Windows Firewall.

 

I'd like to try RPC scanning but I don't see this option available in the TNI Options-Scanner window ?

 

Thanks,

Patrick

Hello, Patrick.

 

Please try to open "\\pc\admin$" in Explorer. Does it work?

Hello Zak,

 

At this time : no. But a few days ago it did. On 7 oct. net use x: \\pc\c$ did work, and I remember testing admin$ OK as well.

Maybe I've changed some settings since then while experimenting.... sorry.

 

if \\pc\admin$ is not accessible, what would be the general cause for this ?

We have tried to collect all possible cases in our FAQ here. One other cause that is not mentioned is that administrative shared resources may be disabled (registry key "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters", AutoShareServer and AutoShareWks DWORD parameters set to zero).
