When you manage services on a remote Windows XP computer using the Services.msc snap-in, you receive:
Unable to open service control manager database on \ComputerName.
Error 1722: The RPC server is unavailable.
This error will occur if File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is NOT enabled on the remote computer.
NOTE: File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is required for many remote management functions.
