Some remote commands don't work with XP SP2

I have noticed that as we upgrade our computers to Windows XP SP2, I can no
long run some remote commands.

Here are some examples:

To query remote RDP sessions
qwinsta /server:<Servername>

To kill remote RDP sessions
rwinsta /server:<Servername>

To query remote processes
qprocess /server:<Servername>

All these commands come back with:
Error opening Terminal server <Servername>
Error [5]:Access is denied.

I can RDP to this computers with the same account. Connect to all the
administrative shares (C$,D$,Admin$) but these commands do not work remotely.
I can fire the same command locally and it works perfectly...but that
doesn't help me any for querying and killing remote RDP sessions.

I am assuming the security in SP2 lock some feature or API that these
commands were using. Is there a work around or reg hack to get these
commands to work? Are there any replacements to these commands?

Thanks in advanced for the help
