I'm trying to manage services of a remote computer in a workgroup via the Services MMC snap-in. Both computers are running Windows 8.1 Pro and are in a private (private as in Windows) network. RDP works between them, but is sometimes unreliable and I don't have physical access to the machine to restart it.
I started with "Error 5: Access Denied". To allow access I have allowed Remote Service Management for private networks in firewall settings, as described here. I have also set the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy to 1 as described here.
While I can run now sc \\computer stop TermService
, I would like to use the Management Console to do it. But when I try to connect the Services snap-in to the remote machine I'm getting Error 1726: Remote Procedure Call failed.
Any hints what else has to be done to enable remote service administration?
