RSoP failure - RPC server not available

[Blenky]

Ok, I am trying to use the RSoP in GPMC to debug a GPO problem and when
I attempt to run the wizard on a computer in my domain, it gets an
error saying the RPC server is not available and to check to ensure WMI
is running on the client. I checked the client and it appears to be
running. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Sean

Ok, I answered my own question. I figured it must have been in the
firewall configuration, so I checked that and voila! In case you have
the same problem (which was what happened to me with the "out-of-box"
configuraiton)...

Setting that needs to be changed can be found on the SBS Windows
Firewall GPO and you want to go to Computer Configuration |
Administrative Templates | Network | Network Connections | Windows
Firewall | Domain Profile

Adjust the "Allow remote administration exception" to enabled and
specify a network, subnet or computer. In my case I currently am just
allowing connections from the SBS box.

HTH,
Sean
