If I'm trying to remotely stop/start services on a Windows 2000 box (on a domain which I have domain admin privileges on), what services are required to be running on a local machine so that I can manage those services remotely using sc or Computer Management?
We've got a computer lab setup where I run WinVNC; however, VNC has a tendency to shutdown every so often. It unfortunately doesn't report itself as a failed service, so I have to manually go into the machines to restart the service; for some reason, I can get in on one machine, but not the other 10. I get this message if tyring to use sc (from WinXP):
When I try to manage the computer through computer management, I get:
Computer cannot be managed. Windows cannot find the network path.
Ideas?

RPC, however, seems to be running on the machines (both RPC and RPC Locator, IIRC). What else should I check?[SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 1722:
The RPC server is unavailable.
