Monday or Tuesday an auto update turned all of our Windows Vista computers remote access setting to “Do not allow remote access!”

This is greatly annoying and took me 4 days to figure out. Sad I know but in XP the error message lets you know it’s disabled where as in Vista they’ve changed it and you get a computer not found.

The Firewall was also reset for Remote access port exception.

However, on a bright note Live Mesh came to save the day and allowed Remote Access regardless of the Remote Access setting. What a great product/platform Microsoft I cherish the day I don’t need a workstation or any locally installed software.

This software also allows you to sync data to a safe place at Microsoft Datacenter or any number of other computers, mobile phones and mac’s you use.
