Is the "MACHINENAME" from your sample code the name of the local machine or
another machine on the network? If it's the local machine, try using the
"BUILTIN\Administrators" syntax instead. If it's not the local machine, is
it possible that your local account doesn't have permissions to access the
target machine at all?
