Remote command job fails

You define and run a remote command job that performs a task on a remote Windows system. If the remote command job goes into ABEND state, and the job log contains a message like: AWKRCE012E Could not establish a connection to "nc112134.romelab.it.ibm.com" target machine., see the following cause and solution.

Cause and solution:

A necessary Windows service might be stopped. Start the Remote Registry Windows service on the remote system.

Note: A Remote Command job that runs on a Windows workstation that is configured to use the samba protocol version 2 or 3, without an active SSH server, fails.
