in cmd, 'Query Session' command is returning,
Error 5 getting sessionnames
Error [5]:Access is denied
on Windows 10 Remote desktop - Administrator user.
we have set, AllowRemoteRPC
's value to 1
under this HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
But still problem persists.
Questions:
- what does
AllowRemoteRPC
actually do and how it's value is being used. - what to do to make Query Session command work.
What exactly are you doing? Did you change AllowRemoteRPC to "1" on the receiving computer? Try also in Credential Manager to add the account for the receiving computer. Another try is to disable UAC. – harrymc – 2019-01-02T09:28:14.060
@harrymc I am logging into the RDP, and in CMD I am typing command 'Query Session'. I did change 'AllowRemoteRPC' on that RDP. can you tell me how to disable UAC? – Amit – 2019-01-02T09:31:13.300
Another thing to try is connecting to a share first to establish credentials, or creating a same-named consistent user on both machines. – harrymc – 2019-01-02T09:32:53.227
@harrymc I'm sorry, but I didn't get your suggestions. Basically i want a CMD command 'Query Session' to successfully provide me sessions information. but it is giving me error 5. To solve that I tried to set 'AllowRemoteRPC' with 1. But that didn't help Either. – Amit – 2019-01-02T15:54:06.093
@PimpJuiceIT Yes I'm doing
Query Session
on cmd. This is case in client's machine and their user is added in Administrator Group (and cmd is opened as Administrator) - So not direct local Admin. But I have tried the same on my network with guest (standard) user and command is working fine. I am doing this via connecting to the machine using remote desktop. – Amit – 2019-01-05T09:37:51.210@PimpJuiceIT we did restart after setting
AllowRemoteRPC
but didn't work. We can try other steps. But I have tested the same command in other networks. It works even in non-admin user. So i guess there must be something else we are missing. – Amit – 2019-01-06T06:04:50.700For 1) It will not be practical solution for user (yet we can try). 2) I will suggest them to perform this and after reboot try again the procedure (with and without admin user). But can you brief me what sfc /scannow does? and how it can help me? – Amit – 2019-01-06T08:44:36.077
Is it possible you are executing the 32-bit version of
– harrymc – 2019-01-07T09:07:36.800cmd.exe
(found inC:\Windows\SysWow64
) on a 64-bit computer? As another try, you could also disable UAC on the target computer.@harrymc No that is not the case. however we have suggested them to disable UAC for testing purpose. but that doesn't seem to be recommended thing to do for longer time. – Amit – 2019-01-09T07:16:52.050
