I am running into trouble remotely configuring Shadow Copies on a Windows 2008 file server and I'm sure there's a firewall rule or something I haven't set correctly but I can't figure out what to change. I have a second Windows 2008 server that we use for all of our administrative functions.
I start the Computer Management MMC.
Connect to the computer I want to manage.
Right click on Shared Folders under system tools.
Select All Tasks/Configure Shadow Copies.
The Shadow Copies dialog comes up and has Initialization Failed Error 0x800706ba: The RPC server is unavailable.
Any suggestions? I've tried searching both the internet and microsoft sites to get an answer. I was able to configure it by logging on to the machine directly, but our goal is to do everything from a single computer and not log on to each file server.
Thanks.
