You need to configure the remote permissions to the “ShadowStor” DCOM component.
Therefore do the following:
1. Open up component services
2. Expand out component services until you see the DCOM area, then highlight the “ShadowStor” component as follows, then right click and select properties
3. Next step is to customize the “Access Permissions” as follows – Note – the account you are using on your console, in the above example, needs to be in the “Domain Admins” group. The other alternative is to add your user account in here and give it “Remote Access”.
4. Finally change the Configuration Permissions as follows Step 4 is optional but recommended to ensure that users can not change configurations. Your console will now access and communicate with the remote agents allowing for schedules to be set.
