We ran into this problem not only blocking remote administration but also
centralized backups (which require their own admin rights).  It is a
BlackIce issue which we have reported to ISS who is working a fix.  

In the mean time, we have a "successful" work around. We found our problems
with backups and remote administration went away when we turned off the
default "block" response to the Nimbda Worm Propagation
(HTTP_Nimbda_riched20dll)denial of service rule.  

ISS is researching why BlackIce is reacting with false positives in the
foregoing situations.  In the meantime, for the events kicked off by
riched20.dll, our enabled responses are DISPLAY and LOGDB with the BLOCK
response turned off. This fix doesn't come with all the warm fuzzies you may
like but it will get your admins back in business until a patch comes along.
If you want to get creative, I suppose you could enable the EMAIL or PAGE
response and direct it to the sysadmin doing the remote administration. They
could then make the call on whether the event was a false positive induce by
their remote activity or the real deal.

V/R,
Doug

We are having connectivity issues to Windows 2000 servers with RS 6.5
Sensors installed.  Members of the Domain Administrators group can not
connect to the administrative shares, manage services, view event logs, etc.
Members of the Local Administrators group work fine (If they also not
members of Domain Admins).  Is there anyone else having these issues?
