The remote computer connection attempt failed.  The most common causes for remote connection failures include the following:

*  Problems with network connections
*  Specifying a computer name or IP address that does not exist
*  Server Manager remote management is not enabled on the remote computer that you want to manage

Verify that you have entered a computer name or IP address that exists, and then make sure your network connections are working properly.  Finally, verify that you have enabled Server Manager remote management on the computer you want to manage.

For more information about remote management by using Server Manager, see "Remote Management with Server Manager" in the Server Manager Help.
