Got this today while connecting to Event viewer on a remote windows 10 machine:

“Computer ‘DC01.MIKEFROBBINS.COM’ cannot be connected. Verify
that the network path is correct, the computer is available on the
network, and that the appropriate Windows Firewall rules are enabled
on the target computer.
To enable the appropriate Windows Firewall rules on the remote
computer, open the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in
and enable the following inbound rules:
COM+ Network Access (DCOM-In)
All rules in the Remote Event Log Management group
You can also enable these rules by using Group Policy settings for
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. For servers that are running
the Server Core installation option, run the Netsh AdvFirewall
command, or the Windows PowerShell NetSecurity module.”

To Fix remotely:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName COMPUTERNAME {
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Remote Event Log Management' -Enabled True -PassThru |
select DisplayName, Enabled
} -Credential (Get-Credential)
