Configuration Manager Remote Control Disabled after install
After installing the Configuration Manager client on a Windows XP workstation. The client appears to install fine but the Configuration Manager Remote control service is stopped and the startup type is set to disabled. My ccmsetup.log says the install was successful and the client shows up in the configuration manager console.
To solve this issue, start by changing the following values in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Client\Client Components\Remote Control
Access Level 0 => 2
Allow Local Administrators to do Remote Control 0 => 1
Audible Signal 1 => 0
Enabled 0 => 1
Firewall Exception Profiles 0 => 15
Permission Required 1 => 0
PermittedViewers Administrators => blank
Finally, set the service Configuration Manager Remote Control to Automatic and start it.
I do not know why this happened, but I'm suspecting that it has something to do with the client not being assigned to a boundary group.
