Push Installation problems

[bros]

Hello

I can't logon (get info, diagnostics or install) to XP computer in "Push Installation". It is "access denied" to all XP computers but the win2000 computers are ok.

We are not using a domain, just a workgroup called workgroup :)

I can see the server and the two clients (that got a manually installed Nod32) in my ESET RA Console.

Thank you, it worked!

What is simple file sharing? Why is it turned on from the beginning? Is there a smart way to turn it of remotely or do i have to manually do it on the computers?

Many questions.... :)

Simple File Sharing permits controlling both sharing and NTFS permissions at the folder level. Network access is through a guest account. Windows XP Home Edition always has Simple File Sharing enabled. By default, it is turned off in Windows Professional when it joins a workgroup. Classic file sharing is used when Windows XP Pro joins a domain. Windows XP Home cannot join a domain. Simple File Sharing can be disabled in Windows XP Pro when it is a member of a workgroup. When it is disabled security can be controlled for individual user accounts.

To disable Simple File Sharing, click start, double-click My Computer, Tools, Folder Options, View tab, at the bottom of the list uncheck Use simple file sharing (Recommended).
This is from here (http://www.duxcw.com/faq/win/xp/simpshare.htm).

I'm not sure about disabling SFS remotely in a workgroup, you could try with PsExec (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx). Google it out i guess ;D .
