Title: tasklist error
Post by: computermom on March 08, 2012, 08:26:38 AM

Hi I keep getting an error when I type tasklist in the cmd prompt the error reads ERROR: The remote system must be running Windows 2000 or above. Why am I getting this error. The os is windows 7 64bit.

Tasklist merely enumerates all the tasks that are running at present. You can do the same thing by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete and opening up Task Manager.

This may also help.

The problem is that DCOM is causing WMI to run at a wrong permission level.
To fix this problem:
1) Press Win+R while you are at the desktop to bring up the Run menu.
2) Type in DCOMCNFG and press "Run"
3) Something like this should come up:

4) After that, right click on the "My Computer" text and hit “Properties"
