Well don't I feel stupid now. It was indeed the typo which was the problem all along.

Thanks Richard!

Well, I added boinccmd to the remote machine firewall, that didn't solve things. So I don't think point 1 is the issue.

Thanks Keith,

1. Are you saying the boinccmd command I issue from one machine goes to the boinccmd instance on the remote machine? If so, then I have a firewall issue.
2. Do you mean the gui_rpc_auth.cfg password file?

I am trying to set up some remote boinccmd scripts and am getting the "Authorization failure: -155" error.

This fails:
boinccmd --host TheRemoteHost --passdw 1234...cdef --client_version
however this works:
boincmgr /n TheRemoteHost /p 1234...cdef
and I can control the remote host with the resulting manager instance, which would indicate I have the RPC configuration and firewalls set up correctly.

The machine issuing the commands is Windows 10 Home.
The remote machine is Windows 7 Pro.
Both machines were upgraded to BOINC 7.16.20 today and neither is running as a service.

This also fails on Windows 8.1 and 10 Pro remote machines with older versions of BOINC.

Any thoughts? I looked through the forum, but the issues there all seem to be Linux related issues on the same host.
