Logging Software

If you are looking for a software auditing tool/alternative to MS SMS, have a look at LOGINventory.  It comes with a free 20 client license and gives nice reports.  If you intend to audit more than 20 devices however, you need to purchase additional licenses.  A great tool for a small business network!

unable to find network path remote registry

Earlier today I was unable to access a remote client to view the event viewer. I was, however, able to access it with remote desktop. My first check was to see if remote registry was enabled and indeed it was. Each time I tried to connect to another computer... I was faced with the long pause and eventual message "Network Path Not Found".

The solution was to ensure that File & Printer sharing is enabled on the network adapter.
