pszStringBinding = ncacn_np:rxobot_serv[\\pipe\\hello]

Calling the remote procedure 'HelloProc'

Print the string 'hello, world' on the server

Runtime reported exception 0x1b = 27

RpcStringFree returned 0x0

RpcBindingFree returned 0x0



CAUSE
Either the Network Client is running the Basic Redirector, or the logged on user cannot connect to the IPC$ directory on the server.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, do either of the following:  Run SETUP on the client and configure it to run the Full Redirector. -or-

 Make sure that the user who is logged on at the client can perform the following operation:

NET USE \\ \IPC$

NOTE: It is not necessary to make an IPC$ connection before running Helloc.exe, but Helloc.exe will fail if either the client or the user is not capable of making an IPC$ connection.
