Hi Allen,

Sorry for the late reply.

Do you mean the Windows 10 systems are locked down, or the remote servers?

>  When I first tried to connect to a remote server in Windows 10, I received the Windows Firewall prompt to allow connections via different network types.  I allowed everything like normal, but then I get an error message about a process could not be started.  If I try to connect again, as soon as I hit the connect button after choosing a server, I immediately get that same error message (it is instant).  That tells me something cannot start.  What is ParaView trying to do or start (maybe it has something to do with plink.exe from putty I’m using too)?  I cannot find any logs to tell me what’s being stopped so I can investigate further.

ParaView is just trying to open a socket connection over TCP/IP when
you connect to a remote server. I'm not sure what process cannot
start.

Perhaps the locked down systems have ports blocked? ParaView uses port
11111 by default to connect to a remote server. Perhaps that is
blocked?

HTH,
Cory

p.s. Please post additional questions about ParaView on
