remote vtune using 9.0 build 24052

[dat123]

I can't seem to make remote analysis work.

I have followed the instructions for DCOM (see below) , but without any joy (I've looked at
all the help relating to DCOM using a search for DCOM).

Note, I cannot find DbgExeCtrl, StandardExeCtrl using dcomcnfg. [ I do find and set the properties for tebscollector.]

My machines are not on a domain and both run XP Pro SP2; I am using the same user name on bothy machines.

When I try to create a new remote data collector I get a dialog box with:

"the remote system appears to have the necessary components for
remote access but DCOm is incorrectly configured" etc

followed by another dialog box that paraphrasing says:

E_ACCESSDENIED and two "dead" URL's for microsoft support articles which
no longer exist.

Are the any further instructions for making this work; any help would be greatly
appreciated

If you ever want to switch back to launching applications non-interactively, keep track of the previous settings and re-apply them at a later time. The password is the same password that was specified when running the VTune analyzer remote agent installer. In addition, after making this change, the user that logs into the system to interact with applications must be a member of the local Administrators group.
