I have several machines on my network running WinXP Pro (SP1) or Win2KPro
(SP4). That have the following symptons.

When I open up my computer management console and attempt to connect to
these machines I receive "Computer \\COMPUTERNAME cannot be managed becuase
it is not running Windows NT. Would you like to manage it anyway?". I click
YES everything appears to work except for the big RED X through the computer
ICON. I can browse the event logs. Look at the Local Administrators Group (I
was able to remove and add a user to the local Admin Group). Also of note,
is that when using a network security scanner (STAT by Harris) the scanner
can not determine the OS for these machines.

HELP

Thanks

Oh, well, the NEWSID from SYSINTERNALS fixed this problem. Why, I have no
idea, but figured it couldn't hurt.
