You may get annoyed with the uncertain PC errors that might ruin your entire computing experience. If you avail remote PC support services to fix such errors, here’s a complete guide to help you throughout your PC repair session.

The Remote Procedure Call Failed error message generally occurs when you stop the firewall service, and your system gets open to variety of threats. If you love to use Windows Store Apps, then you might have come across this error numerous times as some of the new apps may not get installed due to this error. One of the biggest reasons for this error is an incorrect allocation of registry entries, probably tweaked by third-party apps. Additionally, this error can also be the result of the failure of Remote Procedure Call and Remote Procedure Call Locater services. Configure a remote desktop manager and ask an IT technician to confirm if the call locator services are functioning properly. An IT expert will probably take the help of the remote desktop viewer or other free remote PC programs to run ‘services.msc’ and confirm the proper functioning of your call locator services.

How the Error Executes?

After a user finishes installing Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 on a Server 2003-based PC, the update may ask him to stop the Microsoft Security Essentials. If you agree to stop the Microsoft Firewall service, then the commands may ask you to right-click the firewall service in the ISA Management. Now, you will have to click on ‘Stop’ button, and you may receive this error message:

“The remote procedure call failed.”

Always remember that even if the Microsoft Firewall service has successfully stopped, still you will see this error message a number of times. The error might display itself a couple of times because of a new remote procedure call (RPC) error has returned a value in Windows Server 2003.
