SYMPTOMS

When you are trying to use remote administration with a computer running the File And Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks network component that has not been configured for remote administration, you receive a password prompt instead of a descriptive error message.

Windows cannot determine whether you do not have administration rights on the remote computer or the computer cannot be remotely administered.

RESOLUTION

Cancel the password prompt. Configure the computer for remote administration or contact your system administrator.
