ConfigMgr Console | The RPC Server is unavailable

In the event that you get the error

The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

when trying to launch the ConfigMgr console on a remote machine, the following is probably what's going on.

You're probably running Configuration Manager on a Server 2008 host, and you haven't unblocked Remote Administration in the Windows Firewall. Either unblock that, or disable the Windows Firewall. Whichever you decide to do should fix your problem and allow you to manage ConfigMgr remotely.
