Managing workstations using the management console

Hi, I have asked this question before but didn't really get anywhere.
I am running 8 Windows 2003 servers, I am slowly migrating all of our
companies work stations to authenticate against the domain.

On the workstations that are now showing up in my list of Computers on the
network I am unable to remotley view the Device Manager in the management
console, I get the follwoing message when I try to launch it:

------------------------------------------------
Device Manager
Unable to access the computer user.local
The error was: Access Denied
-------------------------------------------------

I have checked on the PC in question that everything to do with remote
management is being allowed through the firewall.
Also, what is wierd, if I do the same on any of the other 7 servers, it
works perfectly.

Am I missing something?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Shut the firewall off and test

Attempt to connect to the remote machine as a local admin

Verify that the remote registry service is running
