	Which basically means that the remote machine has been secured -- by
having the RPC system disabled from access by other machines.

	Consider, os.system() can only perform commands you can execute from
Windows console (command) shell. So until you come up with a command you
can enter at a "DOS Prompt" and have it work, you can ignore doing it with
Python.
