Administrating other workstations on network

I Can't solve this !

I have three Dell Precision workstations that came pre-installed with W2k -
SP3. With only these three workstations, I cannot administer other computers
remotely. I can connect to other systems with Computer Administration and
can see everything but when I attempt changes I get the error message that -
"I am logged into a account that does not have access to 'computer name'. "
and am presented with a dialog for a logon.

I then attempt to logon with a known admin logon, (works fine on any other
system) and get - "Cannot display objects from this location because of the
following error: The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of
credentials. "

It is only a problem on these three systems and since I have inherited one,
I have to fix this. I have installed SP4 and applied every MS patch
available. I have checked any system setting I can find to no avail. Drive
maps or lack of make no difference. Trying different logons including the
actual administrators account do not work.

Desperate for help,

Doug

You usually get this error if you already have a session established with
the remote system under a different ID. You can get rid of these sessions
with a "net use ... /delete" command. Or just logoff and back on to your
local computer using the "known admin" ID. Make sure that the same ID with
the same password exists on both systems.

You may be running into this issue because you have your connections
set up to be persistant. This can be changed using the "net use" command
as well.
