Accessing Remote Device Manager

Hello,

I'm trying to access the device manager remotely on a windows Vista
computer. I open compmgmt.msc from another computer an I can see
everything (services, local users, event log) but whenever I click on
the device manager I get "Access is Denied". been searching for two
days but cannot find any additional settings I need to try. I'm
running this as the AD administrator user, so I'm a member of the local
administrators group.

I've enabled remote administration, disabled the firewall, disabled
UAC, and tried just about every security setting I can find. It works
fine if I'm accessing the device manager locally, so it's only remote
that is a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I realize this post is way old, but since it's at the top of the google hits when I search for remote administration of the device manager, I thought I'd put a link in to Andrew's Server 2008 blog.
