When you try to remotely manage a Windows 2000-based computer from another Windows 2000-based computer, you may receive the following error message:
Computer \\computername.domain.com cannot be managed. The network path was not found.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks option is not enabled on the remote computer.
RESOLUTION- On the computer that you want to manage remotely, right-click My Network Places, and then click Properties.
- Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
- Click to select the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks check box.
- Click OK.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks registers the computer name with a NetBIOS suffix of <20>. This is necessary for most of the remote management tools to work correctly.
