Windows 10: Why Does My Windows 10 Home Edition which does not support Remote Desktop Has RPC and RPC...

Hello,I have Windows 10 Home Edition OS in this computer, and when I ran C:\Windows\System32\services.exe I noticed that the Remote Procedure Call RPC and RPC Endpoint Mapper are running. I am wondering why are these services running?Thank you

:)

 

Windows Powershell Remote Commands Not Working -RPC Server Unavailable

On target computer, change these services from manual start (or disabled) to automatic start (no delay), restart target computer and check that they are all running, then try again:

• Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
• Remote Access Connection Manager
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator
• Remote Registry
• Windows Remote Management

 

WBAdmin - The RPC server is unavailable

Hi.

My Name is David B.

Independent Advisor I'd like to help.

In this case, possible causes of the error "The RPC server is not available" include:

• RPC service stopped: If the RPC service on the server is not running, obviously the client will not be able to contact you.

• Name resolution problems: The name of the RPC server may be resolving the wrong IP address, which means that the client contacts the wrong server or tries to contact an IP address that is not currently in use. Alternatively, the server name may not be resolving
anything at all.

• Traffic blocked by the firewall: A firewall or other security application on the server, or the application of a network firewall between the client and the server, can prevent traffic from reaching the server on TCP port 135.

• Connectivity problems: The client may not contact the server due to a general network problem.

Now, to fix it, do the following:

• Open the services console on the server.

• Locate the remote procedure call service (RPC) and make sure it is running.

Note: The remote procedure call (RPC) location service does not necessarily have to be running.

• If the service stops, try to start it manually.

From the client computer, ping the server by name to verify that the name resolves with the correct IP address. If you do, name resolution is probably not the cause of the problem, and the rest of the steps in this section can be omitted.

If the client and server are members of an Active Directory (AD) domain, DNS is used for name resolution. Verify that the client and server are using the correct DNS servers, which must be within the domain and will usually be domain controllers. If the correct
DNS servers are being used, use the DNS management console on those servers to verify that the RPC server has the correct DNS records. If necessary, the ipconfig / registerdns command can be used on the RPC server to re-enter your DNS records. If no AD domain
is present, WINS can be used for name resolution.

The ipconfig / all command lists, among other things, the WINS servers being used by the RPC server. Check the WINS database on these servers to verify that the records on the RPC server are correct. If necessary, the nbtstat -RR command can be executed on
the RPC server to re-enter your WINS records. Traffic blocked by the firewall, in this case:

• Check the Windows firewall settings on the RPC server. If the firewall is enabled, make sure that traffic on TCP port 135 is enabled to pass.

• If the server is running Windows Server 2003, the Windows firewall may not handle the RPC dynamic port assignment correctly. In this case, it may be necessary to disable the Windows firewall or restrict the ports used by RPC.

• If the server is running Windows Server 2008 or later, verify that the Windows firewall service is running. The Windows firewall in Windows Server 2008 and later versions should handle RPC traffic properly and by default, however, in case it needs to be configured
manually, see the following TechNet article for instructions: Allow incoming network traffic that you use Dynamic CPR.

• If the Windows firewall must be completely disabled in Windows Server 2008 or higher, do not stop the Windows firewall service. Instead, follow the steps described in How to properly shut down the Windows firewall on Windows Servers 2008 and higher.

• If an external firewall software, another security application or a firewall network is in use, consult the application or device documentation to determine if it can be configured to handle RPC traffic.

• If the firewall software, another security application or network device cannot be configured to properly handle RPC dynamic traffic, the port range used by RPC can be restricted, and this range can then be opened in the firewall or application of security.
To restrict the port range used by RPC, see How to configure dynamic RPC port mapping to work with a firewall.

RPC call failed

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

As you receive an error: The remote procedure call failed, I suggest you to check the status of Remote Procedure Call locator service.

Step 1: Make sure the Remote Procedure Call status is Started and set to Automatic. RPC Locator should be set to Manual. Follow the below steps for the same:

• Press Windows + R keys from the keyboard to open
  Run command.
• Type services.msc in the search box and press
  Enter.
• Search for the Remote Procedure Call locator service
• Make sure the Start-up type is Manual.
  

Steps to set the services to Automatic

• Right click on the service
• If the service is stopped then Start the service
• Select Properties
• And in the Start-up type, select Manual.

Step 2: If the service is already started and set to manual, then run
System file checker (SFC) scan on your computer.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.
  

Hope it helps. Kindly get back to us with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.
