Failure to automatically connect to "some Windows services" on sta   
Hi,
Every time I start my Vista Home Premium, I get the message (with a lock as 
icon) that "the computer failed to connect to a Windows remote service" and 
that "This leads to unlimited users not being able to connect to this 
computer." Then I get a suggestion to check the event log to read about 
details. Moreover, when i try to check my firewall settings, there is no way 
windows displayes them, but at the same time the firewall is running 
according to the "check this computers security settings". I also fail on 
changing the settings for my private home network to become visible. Please, 
help me figure this out. I am concidering turning the windows firewall of and 
get another firewall solution, although reluctantly.

Re: Failure to automatically connect to "some Windows services" on sta   
Question #1 - did you check the event log, as recommended? What information 
does the event log provide?

Not using the native Microsoft firewall, out of frustration, does not bode 
well for your being able to install or properly configure a 3rd party 
application either.

The 'lock' is an indication that a security event was triggered or reported. 
You really need to check the log, fix the reported issue before just 
restarting the firewall over and over, something is wrong, there is an issue 
that needs to be addressed.

Re: Failure to automatically connect to "some Windows services" on   
Thanks for your answer. Yes, I have checked the event log with little 
success, since there is so much information of little help to me, as I do not 
understand the meaning of the information. One would hope that the 
information was written/conveyed in a simpler language with practical 
guidlines.

Re: Failure to automatically connect to "some Windows services" on   
I have now succeeded in finding the event log information related to my 
problem:
"Certificate Services Client failed to register Group Policy Notifications". 
Error code 2147944153. I will attempt to find an answer online on technet for 
instance. Wish me luck! In the meantime, any suggestion is welcome.

Re: Failure to automatically connect to "some Windows services" on   
here's a hint...
note the time, run the FW, then open the event log and search for the time 
you started the firewall. some of the things forward of the the time you 
listed, should be related to the FW failure. Once you have an idea of the 
failure codes you can use filtering to high light just what you are 
interested in.

If you double click on the event error, you will be able to see a link in 
the error listing,  it will take you to possible online solutions and/or 
articles which may address the issue or point to TechNet articles, fixes.

Vista - Msquery MsExcel and SQL data works in XP but not in VISTA   
Hi

i have an excel workbook that opens an msquery to a SQL database in
auto_open macro.  This is made available via Sharepoint to our users,
the problem is running it on a Vista PC.  Tt work fine with the many
XP pc's in the company, unfortunately the CEO has Vista and it
doesn't
work (the trusted location is set in Excel)


i get the following errors


connection failed
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error:5
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen
(Connect())
Connection failed
SQLState: '08001'
SQLServer Error 17
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not
exist
or access denied


it does exist and is error free because i tried the worksheet before
during and after tryng it on Vista


Any ideas  / pointers would be much appreciated

I would say the Excel.exe is not running with Run As Administrator to 
give it the needed privileges on Vista during a privileged escalation 
process.

1) set the exe to run with Run As Administrator
2) turn UAC off
3) use the Super Administrator account on Vista to give the Admin full 
rights, like it would have on XP when a Admin\user is running an 
application on XP, look it up use Google.
