Problem : Error : Cannot open Service Control Manager on remote computer. This operation might require other privileges.
I have an APP in Vb.Net which works fine locally but gives the following error while connecting to remote (same workgroup PC, with Same user Name Password having admin privillages). The error is :
Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer(xyz). This operation might require other privileges.
Basically my app is to manage windows services on local/remote pc. The OS is XP Prof on both PCS.
Solution : Cannot open Service Control Manager on remote computer. This operation might require other privileges.
You need to have the permissions on the remote PC for this to work. You may want to try impersonation. Although the username and password are same, the user is not logged on to the remote computer hence the error.
