I have started working my way through Month of Lunches and came up with a minor problem. I have set up a private network in VMware with two Server 2008 R2 Enterprise servers and one Windows 7 client. One of the servers (SRV1) is the domain controller and the other is a member server (SRV2). The Windows 7 machine is also joined to the domain (WIN7).
When I log onto the Windows 7 machine with domain admin credentials, I can use get-process –computername SRV1 to get a list of running processes on the remote server. I can also do this for SRV2 and can do it with the NetBIOS name or IP Address. So far so good.
When I log onto SRV1 with the same domain admin credentials, I can use the same command syntax to get the running processes from SRV2. However, attempts to get the running processes from WIN7 fail whether I use the NetBIOS name or IP address.
The error message says: Get-Process : Couldn’t connect to remote machine
I tried turning off the WIN7 firewall, but that didn’t help. So I can run the command FROM the WIN7 machine, but not TO the WIN7 machine. Is there something that needs to be changed on the WIN7 machine?
Thanks for any help!
