About remote adminitration for Power Path
I have two machines with windows 2008 R2 (hyper-v enabled) installed. one is full installtion, another is server core.Both machine installed Power Path 5.2.0.
Because there is no MMC compoment for server core, I cannot launch "PowerPath administrator" locally. So I try to use remote administration for Powerpath on another machine. But after I use add/remove snap-in in MMC to add "EMC PowerPath Administrator" in order to connect to server core machine. Always get error message saying "Could not connect to EmcAdminSvr on , the following error was returned:the RPC server is unavailable." Note that RPC Service is running on server core machine and also enabled "Remote Administration" on firewall. Could anyone know how to solve this issue?

use psexec (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx) and execute "powermt" commands remotely.

i just tried mmc on win2k8 R2 server and it worked fine, i was able to point PowerPath mmc snap-in to remote win2k8 R2 server. Hmm ..so it could be a win2k8 core restriction or firewall ?

Thanks, dynamox. Very close now. That is the windows firewall blocking the DCOM call, after turn off firewall, MMC works. I have enabled "Com+ Network Access" and "Remote Administration". Do you know what rule else I need add for firewall to allow powerpath remote connection since I have to turn on firewall anyway. Or it is to be appreciated that you could send me your firewall rule settings such that I can compare it with mine.
