When I try to install the EventSentry agent on a remote Windows XP computer or view the remote event logs using the management console, then I always get an "Access Denied" error. I am logged in as an Administrator, all firewalls are switched off and there should be no other software blocking remote access.

Please see a Microsoft KB Article in the additional links below for a solution to this problem.
